Process for Finding Management Solutions to the Incompatibility Between Domestic and Bighorn Sheep. | |
Schommer, T; Woolever, M. | |
英文摘要 | Scientific research has proven that when bighorn sheep intermingle with domestic sheep, large numbers of bighorn sheep die. Major bighorn sheep die-offs have occurred in every western state and have been reported from the mid 1800’s to the present. In recent years, biologists and veterinarians have shown that even casual contact between bighorn and domestic sheep may lead to respiratory disease and fatal pneumonia in bighorns. The role domestic sheep play in causing pneumonia in bighorn sheep is an important issue in multiple use management. Presently, about 90 percent of all Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and 20 percent of desert bighorn sheep in the United States spend all or part of their lives on National Forest System lands. Although domestic sheep allotments on National Forests in the west have greatly declined in number, they are still numerous in some areas. Many bighorn and domestic sheep managers are struggling with this issue because they don’t have a good understanding of the incompatibility between the two species, and/or don’t know how to address these issues and find potential solutions. Solutions are often difficult to develop and may become politically charged. The purpose of this document is to describe a process for finding management solutions to the incompatibility between bighorn and domestic sheep. This paper is designed to be used by biologists and range conservationists at the Forest level. The process is divided into 3 parts: (1) disease overview, (2) collaborative approach to identify issues and opportunities, and (3) developing workable solutions. All parts are essential and must be intertwined to become an effective tool for solving domestic/bighorn issues. Overall recommendations are included as well as a question and answer section. |
