Ensuring Wildlife Linkages Across the U.S.-Mexico Border

Our Borderlands Wildlife Restoration project will secure and protect wildlife movement corridors between vital habitat, such as wildlife refuges, private reserves and designated wilderness areas.

Within the Western Wildway, the borderland region spans the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora and Chihuahua. The Sky Island peaks, arid grasslands, and desert landscapes shared by the United States and Mexico are teeming with wide-ranging wildlife like jaguar, black bear, Mexican wolves, ocelots, and bighorn sheep.

With your donation, we can effectively create a safe passage of protected lands for wildlife in the borderlands region by accomplishing the following:

1.Installing a sophisticated network of trail cameras near Interstate 10 and Highway 2.

2. Creating detailed assessments of the state of wildlife habitat at the border for site-specific recommendations for restoration and conservation.

3. Collecting wildlife documentation for state and federal agencies, private landowners and conservation organizations to inform science-driven approaches to restoring or maintaining wildlife.
