Corridors of Life:

The science of conservation biology instructs that in the face of increasing habitat fragmentation it is crucial to maintain viable connections between large core habitats for the future integrity of wildlife. Corridors of Life is a solution-oriented program that supports public-lands advocacy and on-the ground collaboration with local communities, land trusts, agency biologists, and transportation planners, to conserve and enhance a network of habitat linkage zones throughout the Northern Rockies Region.

Safe Passages:

The science of road ecology is increasingly illuminating the true extent of how highways impact our native wildlife. American Wildlands is playing a lead role in helping establish a regional management and decision-making culture that supports and advances the concept and implementation of highway safe passages for wildlife, so that the Northern Rockies becomes a national model/showcase for the development of safe passage structures and mitigation measures.

Living Waters:

American Wildlands established its Living Waters program to promote the restoration and conservation of native trout and the mountain-fed waters they depend on in within the Northern Rockies. And because the best science tells us that conserving native fish has far reaching benefits for other coldwater species and the watersheds in which they live, American Wildlands focuses its Living Waters program on establishing large connected populations of native fish as a strategy for conserving the region’s overall aquatic integrity.

Community GIS:

American Wildlands’ Geographic Information Systems (GIS) computer lab uses the best available scientific data and analysis to create maps that identify the location of high quality terrestrial and aquatic habitat at regional and local levels. We use this technology to provide discounted and probono GIS computer modeling, analysis, and mapping to conservation organizations throughout the region, and in the process increase these group’s capacity and effectiveness.
