Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

Conservation Northwest--a transborder Conservation Organization helping to re-wild Washigton State up through the British Columbia Rockies--a fine outfit they are!

About Us: Conservation Northwest

Our story as an organization, plus descriptions of our staff, board, and geographical offices

"Keeping the Northwest Wild"

Proven and successful
For 20 years, we've
protected and connected
hundreds of thousands of
acres in Washington and BC

 
Smart and strategic
We work with local communities,
build science-based solutions,
and lead innovative partnerships


 
Conservation Northwest connects and protects old growth and other wild areas from the Washington Coast to the BC Rockies, to benefit people and wildlife. Since 1989 we have protected hundreds of thousands of acres of wildlife habitat: from the big tree forests south of Mount Rainier to forest critical to lynx in the Loomis east of North Cascades National Park.
Today we are ensuring the region is wild enough for wolves, grizzly bears, and mountain caribou; working with local communities on forest restoration, sustainable timber jobs, and wilderness protection; and creating safe passage for wildlife across Interstate 90, to name a few.
