Vital Ground Foundation |
|
| |
Vital Ground seeks to preserve a wildlife legacy for future generations in spite of a rapidly urbanizing society, which has altered the face of our world. They focus on grizzly habitat because the grizzly is nature's umbrella species and the barometer of a healthy and whole environment.
Efforts to accomplish their mission include the following approaches:
Preserving Grizzly Habitat through Land Purchases
Establishing Conservation Easements
Linking Protected Lands
Prevention of Human-Bear Conflicts
Encouraging Conservation-minded Land Owners
Partnerships with Other Conservation Organizations
Jamie Williams, State Director of The Nature Conservancy of Montana, remarked, "We're thrilled to partner with an organization like Vital Ground, whose mission to protect grizzly bear habitat so closely coincides with our own. By combining forces, we've been able to leverage more money toward direct habitat preservation, as this land project demonstrates."
After an important deal linking protected tracts, Program Director Dave Carr, also with Montana's TNC office, observed, "Grizzlies are seasonal migrants. Due to Vital Ground's knowledgeable support, we've been able to secure protection on some of the key riparian corridors and wetlands that provide a direct linkage for grizzlies to roam from the mountains to the prairies."
