The Fraternity of the Desert Bighorn - Project Information.

Water is often the most important missing element, but cannot compensate for poor forage production or disease events that lead to downturns in populations. It is important to note that when conditions permit, these waters allow for bighorns and other wildlife to make the best use of the remaining habitat available.
