00:00Today we are taking surplus animals off of Elephant Mountain and translocating them to
00:08the Franco Mountain State Park to hopefully start another healthy, viable population here.
00:18Pretty exciting.
00:19The helicopter comes in, everybody's anxious to get their hands on the sheep, put them
00:23on the processing tables, collect the tissues, put the collars on them, put them in the transport
00:31tracers.
00:32So it's high energy, lots of excitement.
00:36We've got lots of folks, lots of partners here, lots of volunteers making this operation
00:41happen.
00:42So I think it's collectively our responsibility to make sure that the pigments that we have
00:48now are here to stay and to be enjoyed by future generations.
