Our mission is to reconnect, restore and rewild North America so that life—in all its diversity—can thrive.
Who We Are
Wildlands Network is creating a continental movement to protect nature. Through science-based research and innovative policy, we work to prevent biodiversity loss and promote climate change resilience. By collaborating with local partners and people like you, we empower communities across North America to safeguard their wild spaces.

“We are devoted to one thing: wildlife movement. While others may focus on a particular place or topic, we specialize in the big picture, in landscape-scale connection, which is what wildlife need to survive. As a result, our team’s expertise runs the gamut, so we can deploy specialized strategies as needed for particular projects.”

Humans see themselves as part of nature, with the responsibility and desire to safeguard the natural world.

Communities across North America are stable, just, equitable, and inclusive. All people have access to information and the tools they need to protect and live in harmony with nature.
