WHO WE AREWHAT WE DOHOW YOU CAN HELPWILD NEWS

Although the Wildlands Project's call for restoring keystone species and connectivity was met, at first, with amusement, these goals have now been embraced broadly as the only realistic strategy for ending the extinction crisis.

Who We Are

We are among the luckiest people on Earth.
In North America, we have a chance to preserve what many around the world have already lost: our natural heritage. We can still choose to live wholesome lives in the company of nature.

We are visionaries.
Since our founding more than 14 years ago, the Wildlands Project has been fostering a new kind of conservation movement that fills people with hope.  It begins with a positive, science-based vision for wildlife, people, and nature in the 21st century.

We are a diverse team.
It takes all kinds to create a vision, provide the science to make it happen, and implement a continental conservation initiative.  In a nutshell, we are scientists, conservationists, board members, communicators, scientific advisors, and valued members.

We are surely a continental network. 
In the words of cofounder Michael Soulé, we are networks of people protecting networks of land. Throughout Canada, the US, and Mexico, individuals and organizations--both grassroots and professional--embrace our work. This cooperation among scientists, conservationists, government agencies, indigenous peoples, private landowners, non-government organizations (NGOs), and naturalists has resulted in inspiration, action, and results.
