Preservation continues in the "Serengeti of the West"

The Upper Green River Basin has been called the "Serengeti of the West." It is home to the highest concentration of Shiras moose in the nation and has highly productive year-round sage grouse habitat. It includes the "Path of the Pronghorn," the longest land mammal migration route in the continental United States and winters more than 100,000 moose, elk, mule deer and pronghorn, said Luke Lynch, Wyoming state director for The Conservation Fund.
