One of the wildest areas of the West lies on the Oregon-Nevada border, an expanse larger than Yellowstone. Like Yellowstone, the Hart-Sheldon Region is also a wildlife haven, home to more than 300 species including pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep and, significantly, the imperilled Greater sage-grouse. The Land Between
highlights a remote, beautiful place where two wildlife refuges offer security to a diverse array of life. Yet the future is uncertain, as the modern age is pressing on the land between the two refuges.
