Overview
The Western Environmental Law Center (WELC) seeks to create new policies and projects that connect large intact wild areas in the West, through wildlife corridors that enable animals to migrate safely. This renewal grant would support WELC’s work to protect wildlife corridors, secure new wildlife-safe highway crossings, and promote land management policies that are consistent across jurisdictional boundaries. WELC will focus its work on two important wildlife corridors, one in southwest Montana and a second one that spans the Colorado-New Mexico border.
