A New Vision for a Connected Natural World Here at the Center, we like to think big: large landscape conservation requires big ideas, multi-jurisdictional and cross-cultural perspectives, and support for a global connectivity conservation community. In fact, an important part of our daily work is operating 10 networks of experts and institutions focused on the
What is ecological connectivity, and why is it so essential for the health of planet Earth and its inhabitants? Ecological connectivity is the unimpeded movement of species and the flow of natural processes that sustain life on Earth. Because animals need to move for their survival, maintaining connections between habitat areas is key to saving
As Founder and CEO, Gary guides the Center with a vision grounded in science and practice, drawing upon more than 40 years of experience working on behalf of large-scale conservation efforts in Africa, South America, Australia, and Canada, and 12 years within the U.S. environmental philanthropic community. Gary’s conservation achievements include the establishment of Kibale
Gibbons are arboreal primates critical for maintaining the balance of their forest ecosystem. As seed dispersers, they help to regulate forest regeneration by spreading seeds throughout their habitat, maintaining forest diversity, and supporting other plant and animal species. Gibbons are well adapted to their tree-dwelling lifestyle, moving quickly and gracefully through the forest by swinging from branch to branch using their arms. So, when a gap occurs in the forest canopy, they lose their primary—and safest—mode of transportation.
Life seems to be coming full circle for Senior Conservation Scientist Dr. Annika Keeley. Annika currently resides in her sleepy German hometown of 6,000, working remotely for the Center for Large Landscape Conservation while visiting her parents – her typical habitat is that of Davis, California, just west of Sacramento. But it is her homeland countryside that spurred Annika’s love for nature and, more specifically, the science behind it.
This report contains the collaborative, strategic vision for safeguarding and conserving the Appalachian Landscape, a globally significant region that faces pressing threats from climate change and increasing human development.

The ongoing U.S. Forest Service recognition of the importance of ecological connectivity and migration corridors is aligned with Biden-Harris administration priorities, like the America the Beautiful Initiative and partnerships with States, Tribes, local communities, and willing private landowners to improve and enhance wildlife habitats, connectivity, migratory corridors, and biodiversity. Through this agency memo, National Forest
