“Our research benefits the people and landscapes of the Greater Big Bend Region — an area known for its sprawling ranches, scenic vistas and wildlife diversity. It’s where Texans come to play, explore, learn, and live. This is not just an investment in higher education and conservation; it’s an investment in the economic vitality and quality of life of West Texas.”
