The Strength of Connections™

With the grizzly bear as its compass, Vital Ground works to reconnect fragmented landscapes in the U.S. and Canada critical to wildlife movement and biodiversity. Because the grizzly's range covers several hundred square miles—from alpine meadows to valley bottoms—protecting and expanding habitat and migration corridors important to the Great Bear benefits entire animal and plant communities in the wildest, yet most imperiled places left on the continent. Since its founding in 1990, Vital Ground has helped to protect and enhance more than 602,000 acres of wildlife habitat in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska, and British Columbia.

Vital Ground is a fundraising partner in the largest single private land conservation acquisition in Canadian history. The organization will provide a two year grant toward the project during 2008-2009.

The effort is being lead by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), which has made the bold commitment to protect 136,000 acres (212 square miles) of remote valleys, mountains and lakes in an area known as Darkwoods in south-central British Columbia.
