Dear John,

First, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tim Noviello, and I'm thrilled to have joined Wildlands Network as its new Communications Director. I’m honored to join the team and excited to reconnect, restore and rewild North America with you.  

Political boundaries are designed and made to divide. Wildlife who don't recognize these boundaries experience habitat fragmentation, limited access to resources, reduced genetic diversity, and – for many species – population decline.  

These boundaries can be the focal point for real impact. Bridging these boundaries is where Wildlands Network makes a difference. We work across countries, states, cities and jurisdictions, borders and cultures, highways and walls to create a network of connectivity that allows wildlife to not just survive but to thrive.

When we shift our perspective to see from wildlife’s view and take action from there, we can restore the continent for a biodiverse and wild future. I invite you to see from our perspective and continue reading more about not one but two new wildlife crossings, as well as personal insights on collaborating, communicating and restoring across political boundaries from those driving projects forward on the ground: our incredible staff.  

The future is wild.

Hear more about the challenges and rewards that come with restoring the Western Wildway across state lines, cultural boundaries and jurisdictions with our Western Program Director, Michael Dax.
