Grant Overview

Wildlife Corridor Protection Efforts in Montana

Montana's vast landscapes are home to some of the most significant wildlife corridors in the United States. However, fragmented habitats due to urban development, agriculture, and infrastructure pose substantial risks to the state's biodiversity. Reports indicate that over 70% of Montana's ecosystems are under threat, making it critical to take protective measures now.

Various stakeholders, including environmental organizations, local governments, and Indigenous communities, face challenges in collaborating on wildlife protection efforts. Many of these groups operate with limited funding or resources, making it difficult to implement comprehensive conservation strategies. The overlapping jurisdictional boundaries further complicate collective action, requiring a concerted effort to protect these vital corridors.

This funding initiative will specifically support local stakeholders engaged in wildlife corridor protection efforts across Montana. Applications will be accepted from coalitions of NGOs, tribes, and government bodies, focusing on projects that enhance habitat connectivity while allowing for the safe passage of wildlife. By leveraging existing relationships and local knowledge, projects can effectively address the unique wildlife needs suited to Montana's distinct ecological zones.

Funded projects will also involve community education to raise awareness about the importance of these corridors not only for wildlife but also for local ecosystems. Protecting these areas helps to maintain biodiversity, supports healthy ecosystems, and contributes to the overall resilience of Montana's landscapes.

In contrast to neighboring states, Montana's funding is particularly geared towards the vastness and rurality of its environment. Projects that align with the state’s priorities will have an enhanced likelihood of receiving support, as they will directly impact Montana's wildlife conservation objectives and ecological health.
