Many conservationists are aware of the danger of M.Ovi. The full name for this infectious bacteria is Mycoplasma Ovipneumoniae (M.Ovi). It is passed from domestic sheep to wild sheep. Although domestic sheep can tolerate the bacteria it is almost always fatal for wild sheep.

This film explores the impact of M.Ovi, following Dr. Helen Schwantje, the lead wildlife veterinarian for the BC Provincial government and a sheep farmer. Helen is at the forefront of the battle against M.Ovi.
