For over 35 years, a dedicated team of biologists For over 35 years, a dedicated team of biologists has quietly shaped one of the most enduring and impactful wildlife research programs in America. 'Guardians of Yellowstone' takes viewers deep into the wild heart of Yellowstone National Park to reveal the hidden lives of cougars—stealthy apex predators whose presence is vital to the health and balance of the ecosystem.⁠
⁠
'Guardians of Yellowstone: The Yellowstone Cougar Project' is screening alongisde 'Restoring the Headwaters.' Follow wildlife biologists and stream ecologists as they take on the urgent challenge of repairing a stream headcut in the fragile sage-steppe ecosystem of the Big Hole Valley in Montana. What begins as an eroding scar in the landscape becomes a threat to drain wetlands, degrade critical sage-grouse habitat and disrupt water flowing downstream. Through collaboration, grit, and innovative restoration, this short documentary reveals how protecting water at its source is essential for the resilience of rivers, communities, and all ecosystems downstream.⁠
⁠
See two made-in-Montana films on Monday, April 20th, at 7:15 pm, followed by a Q&A with 'Restoring the Headwaters' producer Pedro Marques.⁠
