Wildlands Network Vision
A Wildlands Network Vision is distinguished from all other conservation area
design approaches, whether traditional or science-based, by the combination
of several specific elements. The integration of all of these
elements in the Wildlands Network Vision offers a comprehensive and
effective approach to large-scale conservation planning and implementation.
By sharing these elements, wildlands networks across the continent are
consistent and connect with one another. These elements were first compiled
by the Wildlands Project.
The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project, with the assistance of the Wildlands
Project and the Denver Zoo,
has completed a Network Vision for the Southern Rockies that
covers 25,772,037 acres, or about 62% of the Southern Rockies ecoregion. It
is a blueprint for future conservation in the Southern Rockies.
