Big, Wild, and Connected
|
Formed a decade ago, the bold and visionary Wildlands Project has advanced conservation a critical step by imagining wilderness not simply as remote scenery or playgrounds for outdoor enthusiasts but as nurseries for life in its full variety and magnificence. A dozen vigorous, local ecosystem-conservation campaigns are now underway in the Americas, from A2A (Algonquins to Adirondacks) to Y2Y (Yellowstone to Yukon), from the Maine Woods National Park proposal to the Patagonia Land Trust's ambitious efforts in Argentina.
Each wildlands campaign has a regional base and scope, and each shares a common strategy: to connect large wilderness cores by wildlife corridors and to create buffer zones near settled areas to lessen human impact. Beyond these basics, strategies to acquire and preserve land vary according to need and circumstances.
