Is human encroachment negatively affecting the Kofa bighorns?
A21 There has been no significant human encroachment on the Kofa herd since the construction of Interstate 10 some 40 years ago and encroachment is not considered to be a contributor to the current state of the herd. However, as the state continues to grow, there is the possibility that surrounding development could have a major impact on the Kofa. Possible roadway construction associated with nearby development could have an important negative affect on the species.
