CONSERVATION NW

Restoring wildlife:through this program we champion the return of iconic wildlife while building greater social tolerance to safeguard their long-term recovery. This year we continued reintroduction of lynx to the kettle range, working with indigenous nations in the us and canada to trap and translocate another 10 lynx. Our direct engagement with ranchers in wolf country has helped keep conflict between wolves and livestock to a minimum, and our success over the past few years has meant that washington has had the lowest rate of human-caused wolf mortality of any state but california.

Other program efforts to protect, connect and restore wildlands and wildlife from the washington coast to the british columbia rockies.
