Unwired: Making space for pronghorn in Wyoming’s Red Desert

Last week, I posted a blurb from Grand Teton's social media about the epic 100+ mile migration that pronghorn take each fall. Part of that post included a link to a documentary film called, Unwired: Making space for pronghorn in Wyoming’s Red Desert. According to the Youtube description:

In the Red Desert of Wyoming, outdated sheep fences have excluded pronghorn from prime habitat since the 1950s. After record snowfall in 2022-2023 caused thousands of animals to perish along the fences, a group of wildlife professionals discovered an area of more than 100,000 acres that excluded pronghorn. Within a year’s time, a diverse group of partners banded together to rebuild 23 miles of new, wildlife-friendlier fences, which restored a portion of access for pronghorn — roughly 10,000 acres of inaccessible habitat and an additional 8,000 acres of restricted habitat. Now pronghorn in this part of the Red Desert have a better chance at surviving an uncertain future. To learn more or to help visit https://thewyldlifefund.org/
