Target: Ms. Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Interior of the United States of America
Goal: Advocate for increasing protections for the bighorn sheep by regulating hunting practices and reducing habitat loss.
The bighorn sheep is an iconic species that is native to North America, including in the United States. Unfortunately, the bighorn sheep is facing numerous threats to its survival, including habitat loss due to human activities such as mining, logging, and development, as well as hunting for sport and trophy hunting. Without immediate action the bighorn sheep could become extinct in the near future, which would have significant ecological, cultural, and economic impacts on North America.
To protect the bighorn sheep, we need to address the root causes of habitat loss and hunting. We also need to implement measures to reduce human-wildlife conflict, such as public education and outreach. Finally, we need to support scientific research and monitoring to better understand the needs of the bighorn sheep and its habitat.
Through habitat protection and management, human-wildlife conflict reduction, and scientific research and monitoring, we can protect the bighorn sheep and its habitat. Demand Secretary Haaland take action and support these efforts.
