Our mission is to reconnect, restore and rewild North America so that life–in all its diversity–can thrive.

We use science-based research and innovative policy to reconnect and restore Wildways, helping prevent biodiversity loss and promoting climate resilient landscapes. By collaborating with local partners and people like you, we empower communities across North America to safeguard and connect their wild spaces.

Together, we are rewilding North America .

A new documentary from Scripps News' "In Real Life" series examines how border walls affect global wildlife connectivity, featuring experts reconnecting these divided habitats. The film follows our Borderlands Program Coordinator, Myles Traphagen, along the U.S.-Mexico border wall, showcasing its harmful impact and hope in wildlife openings as a solution.

From jaguars to monarchs to deer, wildlife is in dire need of one thing that is quickly disappearing: a wild, connected landscape. We think big and act locally to reconnect and restore habitat across borders, boundaries, roads, and walls to help wildlife roam and thrive. You can, too!

POLICY REPORT

Explore the evolution and drivers of state habitat connectivity policy

A new report by Wildlands Network and NCEL on 25 years of habitat connectivity policy explores how and why connectivity policy is at an all-time high. The report provides guidelines for states to follow legislative trends in the coming years to make roads safer for drivers and wildlife.

Wildlife corridors are more essential than ever as wild landscapes become more fragmented by roads, development, fences and walls.

By supporting our mission, you are connecting and restoring Wildways across North America to help wildlife roam and thrive.
