Return of the Desert Bighorn (2018)
Documentary, Short • 0h 9m
Return of the Desert Bighorn, directed by Charles Post and Ben Masters, shines a light on efforts to restore populations of wild sheep across West Texas. Once abundant across Texas and the Southwestern United States, disease, competition with livestock and unregulated market hunting lead to their decline and eventual extirpation. Decades later, efforts have resulted in the reintroduction of this native species to the lands that sustained their kind for thousands of years. This is a story of resilience, and an unwavering commitment to re-wild Texas. Today, species are disappearing faster than ever due to drivers like climate change and habitat loss. This is a powerful story of passion, commitment and the recovery of a species that was brought back from the edge of extinction.
