Human Impact in the Sagebrush Sea

Explore how humans are changing the high desert ecosystem in the video from NATURE: Sagebrush Sea. Humans have fragmented the ecosystem by extracting resources and building fences and roads in the high desert. Species are more at risk of extinction if their adaptations do not match the new environment.

See the Support Materials for an essay and document-based questions about conserving this ecosystem.
