WHAT WE DO

Landscape scale conservation on a global scale

We are proposing something big…really big. We want to create “World Reserves” on every continent and in the ocean both to protect vast undeveloped areas of nature and prove to humanity that we are capable of coalescing around a major issue, climate change.

Imagine any national park, state forest, or natural area you have ever enjoyed. This area was most likely administered by your local or federal government and anywhere in size from a few acres to over 1,000,000 square miles. Now imagine if that area was not bounded by your local town or country but as nature intended, along ecological borders. Then multiply the footprint by about a thousand. This is a “World Reserve.” We envision one on each continent and more in the ocean.

To get a better sense of just how large these areas are, take a look at the Terrestrial World Reserves page and the Marine World Reserves page. These “World Reserves” will alleviate the need for wildlife corridors and various connections used in the past to create ecological frameworks of conservation – because we want to protect the areas already preserved, the corridor areas and all the area in between.
