'The Art of Conservation' helps Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep

The Department of Fish and Game is joining artist and science illustrator Jane Kim to raise public awareness of Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep. This endangered species is one of the rarest large mammals in North America. Kim’s show, “The Art of Conservation,” launches the Migrating Mural to benefit the Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep Foundation.

The Migrating Mural is a collection of murals to be painted along migration corridors of endangered species. Through the murals, the transient life of these animals can be seen and appreciated from highways. 

The first series of four migrating wildlife murals will feature Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep and be visible from U.S. Highway 395 in the eastern Sierra Nevada, between Tioga Pass and Cartago, which is south of Lone Pine.
