Freedom to Roam works with businesses, government leaders, public and private land managers, hunters, anglers, farmers and ranchers to ensure wildlife connectivity is a part of all land and wildlife management decisions.
The first two landscapes where Freedom to Roam is focusing its efforts are in the Northern Great Plains of the United States and the Eastern Himalayas.
- The Northern Great Plains is the backyard for the iconic pronghorn antelope, 220 butterfly species, the American bison and golden eagles. In 2011, the region witnessed the longest documented land migration North America’s history. But the region is also undergoing extraordinary natural gas exploration, development and habitat shifts due to climate change. Without intact corridors, wildlife won’t be able to adapt to survive a rapidly changing landscape.
- The Eastern Himalayas are home to endangered tigers, rhinos and elephants. An area threatened by rapid deforestation, wildlife corridors are critical to allowing wildlife the natural cover and habitat to find suitable mates and move around development to avoid human conflict.
