We often ask you to take action for wildlife and wildlands by submitting comments to federal agencies, writing letters to legislators, and sharing concern for our shared natural heritage online. But what does it really mean to be an engaged, informed citizen? How can you effect change on the ground? Photo: Hosking, USFWS
Despite the Endangered Species Act’s success in protecting endangered species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released revisions that could greatly impact future protections for imperiled species. We ask you to join us in encouraging the federal government to withdraw these harmful proposals. Photo: William C. Gladish
Our Wildways depend on large protected areas like national parks and other federal lands across the continent as the building blocks of connectivity. It’s imperative these areas remain protected accessible to all, so that humans and animals alike can enjoy these refuges of biodiversity for generations to come. Photo: Robert Long
Our new Pacific Wildway aims to protect special recreation spaces from British Columbia to Baja California. In this second blog post about recreating in the Pacific Wildway, learn more about Yosemite National Park. Photo: Julia Walz
While Secretary Ryan Zinke’s support of restoring grizzlies to the North Cascades is a conservation victory, we must make sure we also advocate for the protection of large landscapes that will protect a multitude of species. Photo: Jessica Walz Schafer
In this final post in our series of blog posts profiling Pacific Northwest species, we present to you the bull trout. Like most species that bear the yoke of climate change most acutely, the bull trout faces a combination of persistent threats rather than one major threat. The widespread warming of streams due to human development and climate change is at odds with the bull trout’s conditions for survival. Photo: Shannon Downey, USFWS
Rare and elusive, the wolverine faces a tenuous tomorrow, with only 300 wolverines estimated to remain in the lower 48 states. Our Pacific Wildway aims to change the potentially ill-fated course of this iconic species’ future. Photo: Steven Gnam
We are just getting started on our innovative work to rewild the incredible Pacific landscape. To bring you along on our journey, we invite you to explore a few of the wild ecosystems here in the Pacific Northwest. Photo: National Park Service
In 2017, Wildlands Network explored the possibilities of a connected Western coast. What did we discover? That the Pacific may be the best place to implement our bold vision with a new connected and protected Wildway. Photo: Katy Schaffer
