Discovery’s “Hard Truths of Conservation” heads to the Arctic Circle this Saturday, exploring the vital connection between people and wildlife in one of the planet’s most challenging environments. In “Barren Ground Musk Ox,” Dan Cabela joins a scientific sampling project focused on these iconic Arctic creatures.
Located in the aptly named Barren Ground of Canada, the project aims to monitor the musk ox population and gain a better understanding of the delicate balance between human life and wildlife in this unforgiving landscape. Cabela seeks firsthand experience with these magnificent animals, getting up close and personal with a species that has adapted to survive in extreme conditions.
“Hard Truths of Conservation” tackles the difficult realities of protecting vital animal species around the globe. This episode looks at the specific challenges of conservation in the Arctic, focusing on the work being done to preserve both the musk ox and the traditional ways of life that depend on them.
Tune in to Discovery on Saturday, April 26th at 9:00 AM ET to witness this unique conservation effort.
