Migrations
The longest wildlife migration in the lower 48 states is right here in Wyoming’s backyard. Pronghorn travel from Grand Teton National Park through the Gros Ventre Mountains and all the way down to the I-80 corridor, but their journey today faces an array of human obstacles. From the oil field worker to the wealthy second-homer, people and wildlife have once again found themselves at a crossroads.

Pipelines, roads and fences are obviously a great problem for wildlife, the Pronghorns and Mule Deer in particular. Perhaps a bit more expensive than the not so well functioning under ground passes, but to build over ground passes for the wildlife, like bridges is working brilliantly in many places around the world. They must be built wider than the example shown late in the film (45 min+) and covered with soil and plants., and the animals will use them with little or no problems. Based on the economy in the gass business there should be no problem to fund a whole bunch of these passes, and the gass industry would be more appreciated in general.
Bragging about the first national park? That is interesting considering WY was FORCED to accept Yellowstone.
