Business as usual in land management is not working and many of our lands and streams are in poor shape due to impacts like overgrazing and inappropriate off-road vehicle use.  And now, with climate change expected to increase temperatures and decrease precipitation in the Southwest, it is more important than ever before to make our lands more healthy and resilient so that they can better withstand the effects of climate change.  Together with friends like you, Wild Utah Project seeks long overdue systemic change in land management practices throughout the West by applying the principles of conservation biology to create a more resilient landscape.

Help support Wild Utah Project's mission to maintain and, where needed, restore the health of our natural lands in Utah and adjoining states. Wild Utah Project provides scientific research and technical support to conservation partners and collaborates with many grassroots organizations in an effort to help shape land use in a way that restores native wildlife, expands wilderness, protects biodiversity, and best serves the people of Utah and the West.

Just select "GET STARTED" above to create your very own personal fundraising page and become a fundraiser for Wild Utah Project's Resilient Wildlands Campaign today. 

Your support today will help Wild Utah Project work on our interrelated priorities for 2010, including the following:

• Bringing New Conservation Science into Land Management:  Our arid grasslands and shrub communities in the West are impaired, placing at risk wildlife and adversely affecing our streams. We partner with universities, land management agencies and others to provide the missing pieces on how to manage for resilient habitat.
• Land Use Reform: Once we've determined best management practices for our lands, we suggest the best conservation science to land managmenet agencies and others.  We work for adoption of objective, biologically-based methods for making land management decisions that will help restore our lands and streams.
  
• Stream Health Assessments: Especially in the arid West, streams are the most important wildlife habitat and also the most heavily used by humans.  Working with key scientists, we have developed and are applying a unique, quick, and objective stream assessment tool based on wildlife needs. This assessment fills a critical, missing need to help identify those streams that require restoration.
• Ecoregional Planning:  We work with numerous partners to design and imlement landcape scale wildlife "core areas" and movement corridors within Utah's prominent ecoregions, such as the middle Rockies, in order to ensure connected populations of our important native species.

By participating in Wild Utah Project's Resilient Wildlands Campaign today, you will help ensure that these and other projects go forward to help protect and restore wildlands in trouble.  Please be sure to visit our web site www.wildutahproject.org for more information.
