Center for Large Landscape Conservation

A team of citizens and nonprofits, including one of the Center's road ecologists, Kylie Paul, is working to install a wildlife underpass on I-90 between Huson and Alberton near Missoula, Montana. The new crossing would help animals like grizzly bears, mountain lions, black bears and elk move safely from the Flathead Range to the Bitterroot Mountains. According to Paul, a third of the reported vehicle crashes in the area involve wildlife, which is triple the statewide average of 12%. Read more:

Four of our team members represented the Center at the recent UN Biodiversity Conference (#COP16)—a very large and lively global gathering in Cali, Columbia. Together with partners, we advanced the science, policy, and practice of connectivity, landscape, and seascape conservation by supporting partners and countries, and through numerous presentations and side events.
