Responding to increasing habitat fragmentation, American Wildlands' Corridors of Life program is designed to keep the large protected - the core habitats - connected within the U.S. Northern Rockies. AWL works to restore and maintain wildlife movement corridors between these protected core habitats for the benefit of wolves, bears, elk, cougars, and other wide-ranging or migratory animals.

Within our targeted regional corridors, American Wildlands addresses on-the-ground threats to habitat connectivity on public lands, private lands, and major highways.

We do so by organizing and facilitating local working groups that consists of state and federal wildlife agencies, highway departments, railroad companies, county planners, land trusts, conservation groups, ranchers and others. We then provide the science and expertise needed to help inform, guide and strengthen the conservation efforts of these working groups.

Ultimately, our Corridors of Life program plays a critical role in conserving the habitat links between the "string of pearls" that are our national parks, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges and other protected habitats.
