About the Program
Death Valley National Park is a treasure trove of scientific mysteries waiting to be unraveled. The park’s diverse ecosystem and unique geology provide a rich environment for various research endeavors. One key area of study is tracking the Bighorn sheep populations. These resilient animals are vital indicators of the health of our desert ecosystems. By monitoring their numbers and behaviors, scientists can gain insights into the broader ecological impacts and help ensure their survival.
You can play a significant role in supporting these essential research projects by adopting a Bighorn sheep. Proceeds from this program go directly to the Death Valley Science Fund, which supports critical research and monitoring activities. When you adopt, you’ll receive a plush sheep and a downloadable certificate as a token of appreciation, symbolizing your contribution to the ongoing scientific efforts. This plush can serve as a thoughtful gift or a personal reminder of the impact you’ve made in supporting vital conservation work in Death Valley National Park.
