PROTECTING WILDLANDS:THIS PROGRAM FOCUSES ON PRESERVING LARGE BLOCKS OF HABITAT, INCLUDING FOREST, SAGELAND, AND GENERAL WILDLANDS, AS CORNERSTONES OF ECOLOGICAL RESILIENCE AND FOR LONG-TERM SURVIVAL AND RECOVERY OF IMPERILED WILDLIFE. IN THE PAST YEAR, WE COLLABORATED WITH DIVERSE INTERESTS TO ADVANCE SCIENCE-DRIVEN OUTCOMES ON FORESTRY PROJECTS ON STATE AND FEDERAL LANDS AND THE POLICIES UNDER WHICH THEY ARE FORMULATED. WE BROUGHT A LAWSUIT BEFORE THE WASHINGTON SUPREME COURT TO INTERPRET CONSTITUTIONAL INTENT FOR HOW STATE PUBLIC LANDS SHOULD BE MANAGED.


HABITAT CONNECTIVITY:WE ARE SUCCESSFULLY PROTECTING VITAL WILDLIFE CORRIDORS AND RECONNECTED HABITAT BETWEEN WASHINGTON'S NORTH CASCADES AND MOUNTAIN WILDLANDS TO ITS NORTHWEST, NORTHEAST, SOUTH, AND WEST. THIS YEAR WE HAD GIANT SUCCESSES WITHIN THE CASCADES TO ROCKIES CORRIDOR, INCLUDING PURCHASING FOR THE COLVILLE TRIBES A 10K ACRE PROPERTY OF HIGH ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL VALUE, CONSTITUTING THE LARGEST (BY A FACTOR OF 10) PRIVATELY-FUNDED LAND BACK EXAMPLE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. WE ALSO WON STATE FUNDING FOR WILDLIFE UNDERPASSES TO BE BUILT ON HIGHWAY 97 JUST DOWNHILL OF THAT PROPERTY. WE ALSO BEGAN PILOT PROJECTS WITH VIRTUAL FENCING THAT ENABLE REMOVAL OF BARB WIRE FROM KEY SAGELAND HABITAT CORRIDORS AND IMPROVED THE PERMEABILITY TO WILDLIFE OF THE SATSOP BRIDGE ON HIGHWAY 12 IN THE CASCADES TO OLYMPICS CORRIDOR.


RESTORING WILDLIFE:THROUGH THIS PROGRAM WE CHAMPION THE RETURN OF ICONIC WILDLIFE WHILE BUILDING GREATER SOCIAL TOLERANCE TO SAFEGUARD THEIR LONG-TERM RECOVERY. THIS YEAR WE INITIATED REINTRODUCTION OF LYNX TO THE KETTLE RANGE, WORKING WITH INDIGENOUS NATIONS IN THE US AND CANADA TO TRAP AND TRANSLOCATE THE FIRST NINE LYNX. WE ALSO MOVED A FEW MORE FISHERS FROM CANADA TO WASHINGTON ECOSYSTEMS, COMPLETING THAT 20 YEAR EFFORT. OUR DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH RANCHERS IN WOLF COUNTRY HAS HELPED KEEP CONFLICT BETWEEN WOLVES AND LIVESTOCK TO A MINIMUM, AND OUR SUCCESS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS HAS MEANT THAT WASHINGTON HAS HAD THE LOWEST RATE OF HUMAN-CAUSED WOLF MORTALITY OF ANY WOLF STATE.


OTHER PROGRAM EFFORTS TO PROTECT, CONNECT AND RESTORE WILDLANDS AND WILDLIFE FROM THE WASHINGTON COAST TO THE BRITISH COLUMBIA ROCKIES.
