A Movement for the Wild

We’re connecting and restoring wild places from Alaska to Northern Mexico through bold, science-driven wildlife conservation action. Explore how we are driving a continental movement to reconnect, restore, and rewild.

Connect Wildways

When animals can move freely, they find mates, spread seeds, and keep ecosystems healthy. Through our Wildways, we’re making that possible across North America.

Restore Wildlife

Wolves, jaguars, and bears need room to roam. We’re filling the data gaps, shifting policy, and working with communities to recover wildlife populations.

Across Boundaries

Animals have followed ancient migration routes across this continent for thousands of years, long before fences, roads, or borders existed. We’re working to keep those pathways open.

Wildlife Crossings

Wildlife crossings reduce vehicle strikes by over 90%, giving animals a safe path across the continent’s busiest roads. We’re working to build more of them.

Our Approach

Wildlife Research

We collect and analyze wildlife data to understand movement patterns, pinpoint critical habitats, and identify where barriers threaten connectivity. That knowledge lets us advocate for the wild with authority.

Policy Change

Laws and policies determine how well wildlife and their habitats are protected. We push for stronger conservation legislation that gives animals and ecosystems a seat at the table.

Partnerships

A continental mission demands a united front. We connect a diverse network of partners across North America to align goals, share resources, and build toward a shared vision for wildlands.

More Wildlife Crossings for Safe Passage

Each year, over 1 million animals lose their lives on U.S. roads alone. Wildlife crossings give bears, turtles, mountain lions, and dozens of other species a safe path to food, water, and mates while keeping drivers safe. We’re building them across North America, and we need your help to do it.

Borderlands

Small Openings Make a Big Connection

The U.S.-Mexico border wall has reduced wildlife movement by 86%, cutting off ancient migration routes that wolves, mountain lions, and pronghorn have followed for generations. We’re documenting the impact and fighting to keep critical corridors open. Stay informed and be ready when your voice is needed most.
