Center for Large Landscape Conservation

The Center for Large Landscape Conservation uses science to inform collaborative efforts between federal and state agencies and the communities working to conserve important ecosystems and the wildlife corridors that connect them. The center serves as fiscal sponsor for the Network for Landscape Conservation’s Catalyst Fund, which supports the needs of collaboratives working across the U.S. West, including those led by Indigenous communities. The Network for Landscape Conservation advances cross-border, collaborative conservation as a vital approach to sustain nature, culture, and community.

The nonprofit Center for Large Landscape Conservation works with partners to inform federal and state efforts to advance the policy and practice of wildlife corridor conservation. The center works to protect, maintain, and restore ecological connectivity for wildlife in the face of a changing climate. This also includes developing innovative designs for wildlife highway-crossing structures. The center provides research and technical support for connectivity conservation efforts across public (federal and state), private, and tribal lands throughout the Western U.S. This Organizational Effectiveness grant is for an executive transition.
