John, the Pacific Wildway, one of the world’s longest and wildest chains of mountain ranges, stretches from Alaska’s Prince William Sound to Mexico’s Baja California. While black bears are prevalent along this landscape, their presence bemoans the absence of a close relative: the grizzly bear. Along this corridor, wild grizzlies only roam as far south as parts of Washington State, yet there’s a grizzly bear on California’s flag. It waves as a hopeful symbol, a reminder of why our work in large-scale conservation is absolutely vital now more than ever! The grizzly bear’s natural habitat once extended to Baja California. The future of wildlife in the Pacific region, including grizzlies, requires vast natural expanses with low human impact. But habitat in the Pacific Wildway is rapidly shifting due to development and climate change. By supporting Wildlands Network today, you’re giving hope for thriving wildlife populations tomorrow. |

Along with our partners at the University of Washington, we created one-of-a-kind maps that include climate change projections to ensure effective, forward thinking conservation policies. These maps bring together hundreds of peer-reviewed papers and overlapping datasets that have been analyzed over two years. Through this data gathering, we’re discovering important habitats that are critical for the survival of species both now and long into our climate-altered future. Join us to provide science-driven solutions and innovative policy to reconnect wildlife throughout North America. One day, we could again see grizzlies restored to their natural Californian habitat. |
