Dear Editor,
This crazy winter, coupled with highways and industrial development that have dismembered habitat and disrupted wildlife corridors, has resulted in the death of us to 75% of the pronghorn in Western Wyoming. Mule Deer have also suffered greatly.
It is imperative that Governor Gordon designate migration corridors so they can be protected, and we can maybe, just maybe hold on to the pronghorn and mule deer that we have left.
Write to Governor Gordon. Tell him that we have known about these migration corridors for decades. The time has long passed when designation would have done the most good. Get ‘er done.
We live in Wyoming because we love our wildlands and our wildlife. Industrial development - be it solar farms, or wind farms or oil and gas fields - must not decimate the wildlife populations that we have left. It won’t be worth it.
