This video features an in-depth discussion with Gray Thornton, President and CEO of the Wild Sheep Foundation, about the organization's history, mission, and conservation efforts for North American wild sheep. It highlights the drastic decline in sheep populations due to disease and overharvest, and the subsequent conservation strategies, including habitat restoration and species transplantations. The conversation also touches upon the unique funding model for sheep conservation, particularly the role of auction and raffle tags, and the foundation's expansion into international conservation efforts in Central Asia.

This video explains the North American model of wildlife conservation, highlighting how sportsmen's contributions through taxes on firearms and ammunition, along with hunting license fees, fund critical conservation projects. It details how this model, exemplified by the recovery of pronghorn populations, benefits wildlife, habitat, and landowners by creating economic incentives for healthy ecosystems. The video emphasizes that hunting seasons, when managed by biologists, have historically led to population increases.
