Freedom to Roam - A 21st Century Vision to Protect and Connect North America’s Wild Lands
from: http://www.patagonia.com/email/020808.html?sssdmh=dm23.103021&src=020808
Climate change threatens to drive more than a million land species to
extinction, according to the Extinction Risk from Climate Change
study. Habitats for mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, and butterflies
will become warmer. If these species remain trapped in warming
habitats due to human development, one-quarter of them could disappear
by the end of this century.
Providing species with greater freedom to roam between shifting
habitats can do much to support their survival. In North America, this
means protecting and restoring wildlife corridors along the Pacific
Crest, the Continental Divide, the Appalachians, and several other
smaller, but equally important, locales.
Freedom to Roam is a partnership of conservation organizations,
recreation groups and corporations dedicated to establishing migration
corridors between protected areas.
