Faded Tails - S4 Ep. 3: The Markhor: Ghost of the Mountains

High in the mountains of Central and South Asia, the markhor moves along cliffs most animals wouldn’t dare climb. Once hunted to near extinction, this wild goat with spiraling horns survived through one of the most controversial conservation strategies in the world. In this episode of Faded Tails, we explore myth, colonial hunting, recovery, and the uneasy question at the heart of it all: what does it mean to save a species by putting a price on its life.
