Western Colorado University will host a public screening of “Preserved,” a documentary from director Ben Clark, who will join the event at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, December 2, in the Mountaineer Cinema.
“Preserved” unveils the story behind Vermejo – a 558,000-acre living laboratory where rarely seen wildlife behaviors unfold: bears stealing mountain lion kills, microscopic life thriving in seasonal potholes and animals adapting to a rapidly changing world.
In this feature-length documentary, scientists, ranchers and conservationists reveal how the seemingly impossible has been achieved here, from North America's largest native trout restoration to the return of beaver, elk and bison. Rich in discovery and layered with human history, Vermejo stands as the pinnacle of conservation in the U.S. and a bellwether for what’s possible elsewhere.
Featuring insights from leading conservationist Kris Tompkins, wildlife ecologist Sophie Gilbert, beloved author Craig Childs and Vermejo’s on-the-ground experts, “Preserved” offers a glimpse into what’s possible when intention meets opportunity.
