SERVICES - Corridor Conservation Campaign - Partners

Although WLT is leading this project, staff is working with a number of partner organizations to make it a reality. Even in its infancy, the Campaign is enjoying fundraising success and public endorsements. Most notably, the Jonah Interoffice Agency (JIO) awarded a $1 million challenge grant to the Wildlife Friendly-Fencing Initiative ($1 million with a $1 million match requirement). WLT is optimistic that federal wildlife agencies, sportsmen groups, private and public foundations, and various corporations will also continue to lend their support.

Additionally, Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne and Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal have both endorsed the project. Governor Freudenthal described the effort as "an example of the right way to approach this challenge, by sitting down with landowners and negotiating with them on how best to protect corridors that border or cross their land. Thus, WLT is confident that the Campaign will serve as a model of a successful collaboration among a variety of traditional and non-traditional partners, which now includes participation and/or financial support by:
