WSF began developing Conservation Vision documents in 2013/14 to guide WSF’s conservation and wild sheep enhancement priorities. The first was the Conservation Vision (CV) 2020, followed by CV 2025, and our most recent is CV 2030, developed during the 2025-26 fiscal year to guide our conservation funding priorities through 2030. 

In this episode, Sheep Fever co-host Gray N. Thornton walks through the process with WSF Conservation staff and biologists Corey Mason, Kevin Hurley, Kurt Alt, and Bill Jex. They discuss the why and how behind the current vision and the impact and outcomes WSF intends to achieve. WSF CVs are collaborative visions from experts on our Professional Resource Advisory Board (PRAB), WAFWA Wild Sheep Initiative, and WSF conservation staff, all working together to craft a future for wild sheep. The document also provides the basis for WSF Conservation Funding Priorities for Grant-in-Aid.

This informative episode covers how wild sheep conservation works in North America and around the globe.
