Thirty-five years later\, that idea has become 6\,000 acres of protected old-growth forest in Chihuahua\, a New Mexico law now used as a template for wildlife corridor legislation in states across the country\, and $350 million in federal funding for wildlife crossings that reconnect habitat highways once cut in two. We’re just getting started\, and you’re invited to be a part of our next chapter. \nWe’ll be in town for the 2026 Wildlife Conservation Expo — if you’re headed there too\, stop by and say hello. Otherwise\, find us afterward for snacks and a drink\, on us. \nAt this very special event\, we’ll be discussing highlights from our work in California and throughout the Pacific Wildway. Grab a drink\, meet fellow lovers of the wild\, and hear what’s next as we look toward the next 35 years of this work. We couldn’t have gotten here without you.

Unlike the United States\, public land makes up a small share of the nation’s landscape\, so private family and communal conservation investment is critical. And like the rest of North America\, development pressures and political upheaval create significant challenges to large-landscape conservation efforts. \nJoin Wildlands Network’s senior leadership team in Mexico to learn about the nation’s unique opportunities and challenges in advancing habitat conservation\, including recent breakthroughs achieved at the state and federal levels\, driven by Wildlands Network leadership. Walk away with a greater understanding of how your support for Wildlands Network is driving positive change for wildlife far beyond America’s borders. \nClick here to register  → \n  URL:https://wildlandsnetwork.org/event/wn-webinar-conservation-policy-in-mexico-recent-successes-opportunities-and-challenges/ CATEGORIES:WN Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wn-wordpress.storage.googleapis.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/01145727/CARR_01A_20260604_20260425_030722-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260910T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260910T200000 DTSTAMP:20260824T192255Z CREATED:20260819T193636Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T192255Z UID:10000019-1789059600-1789070400@wildlandsnetwork.org SUMMARY:Wildlands Network Happy Hour in Seattle DESCRIPTION:Join Wildlands Network staff and local board members for a casual happy hour in Seattle celebrating our 35th Anniversary: 35 years of reconnecting\, restoring\, and rewilding North America’s wild places.\nIn 1991\, a small group of conservation biologists and activists set out with an audacious idea: a landscape connected from Canada to Mexico\, where wildlife could move freely again.
