Conservation Fund

The Pioneers Alliance, a project of the Conservation Fund, works to protect the working ranches and public lands of the Pioneer Mountains and Craters of the Moon National Park in central Idaho. The 3 million-acre area is a major wildlife corridor used by antelope, elk, wolves, and many bird species as they migrate from the mountains to lower elevations around Craters of the Moon. This renewal grant will fund the Alliance’s work to build rancher support for conservation of the area’s public lands and private ranches, secure land conservation easements on 20,000 acres, and adopt greater controls of off-road vehicles on 145,000 acres of public lands.
