Wild Corridors Project

Klamath-Siskiyou region map by Jamie O'Donnell

The aim of our Wild Corridors Project is the protection and restoration of core roadless areas and key wildlife migration routes within the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion from industrial logging and road building. In particular, the following goals collectively spell out our vision of a sustainable future for the region:

through Wilderness designation for all inventoried roadless areas. 

through the creation of a detailed, effective, landscape-scale conservation reserve design that creates a sufficiently large network of protected areas to ensure continued viability for populations of all native species.

caused by decades of excessive road construction by ceasing new road construction on public lands and reducing the existing road network. Perform watershed restoration activities such as road removal followed by re-contouring, culvert replacement, and planting of native vegetation.

such as mountain lions and black bears, and foster community support for the repatriation of locally extirpated species such as gray wolves.

allowing fire to regulate forest health.  Learning to coexist with wildfire is crucial if we are to preserve the vast diversity of forest habitat types present in the Klamath-Siskiyou, since fire is a key component of this diversity.

that understands the ecological and social value of intact, healthy, wild ecosystems.  Such a mobilized grassroots constituency is essential for holding federal agencies accountable for upholding environmental regulations.
