New Mexico Highlands Wildlands Network Vision: Connecting the Sky Islands to the Southern Rockies
Here we propose a New Mexico Highlands Wildlands Network comprised of core wild areas, compatible-use lands, and wildlife linkages designed to restore and protect the region’s natural heritage. The primary goals of the network are to conserve the region’s natural communities, sustain healthy populations of native wildlife that depend upon those habitats, and restore key natural processes across the landscape.
