Foundation president, Harvey Fineberg, and chairman emeritus and co-founder, Gordon Moore, discuss the Statement of Founders’ Intent with staff.
The mission of the South Coast Wildlands Project is to protect and restore connected systems of wildlands to support native wildlife and their ecosystems. The central California nonprofit works with conservation biologists, ecologists, wildlife agencies, land managers and planners to develop regional conservation plans and strategies.
The organization facilities the Washington Wildlife Connectivity Working Group, a collaborative effort to promote the long-term viability of wildlife populations in Washington State through habitat connectivity pattern assessments. Critical Linkages is a statewide connectivity report developed for the California Departments of Transportation and Fish and Game that identified 14 critical linkages of biological value to preserve from development. The organization has also produced landscape level connection analyses for areas along the northern California coast, southern California and the California desert ecosystem. Additionally, the South Coast Wildlands Project has helped inform decision-makers and community members about the threats and opportunities for sustainable management of the Santa Clara River and watershed and for the Carrizo Plain in San Louis Obispo, California.
