The Northern Rockies hold the wildest country in the lower forty-eight, a realm of the Crown of the Continent where grizzly bears, wolves, and wolverines still roam land large enough to hold them. Here the mountains run unbroken across borders, and the phrase intact ecosystem is not an aspiration but a description. This is the source of great rivers and the last stronghold of species pushed out of tamer country.
The organizations working here defend wilderness and roadless lands, and above all fight to keep the landscape connected, so that wildlife can move across the vast distances a warming world demands. Their work is about wholeness: protecting not just places, but the space between places.
