Evaluating Articles and Sources: Wildlands Network[edit]

Wildlands Network article is not fully up to date. It seems as though the article is missing all of the On-the-Ground campaigns that are ongoing, along with the campaigns that are written on the Wildlands Network page.

Using the Wildlands Network website, where information of all the current campaigns reside, there will be much more to add to the page.

Along with the current campaigns, there could also be an addition of the origins and history of the Wildlands Network.

Draft of Wildlands Network Page[edit]

History[edit]

In 1991, Dr. Michael E. Soulé envisioned a conservation group that focused on fieldwork, all based on sound science. Soulé joined forces with David Foreman, Douglas Tompkins, and other conservationists, he formed the North American Wilderness Recovery Strategy. The name would later become simplified to the Wildlands Project, now known as Wildlands Network.

Since its founding, Wildlands Network has worked to simplify conservation terms in order for the public to understand them. The Wildlands Network has also helped universalize the language for conservation planning. The Wildlands Network has helped inspire many other conservation organizations across the world.^[1]

Rewilding North America Projects[edit]

Eastern Wildway[edit]

Continuing off of the current article[edit]

In 2015, the Eastern Wildway Network was formed in order advance efforts in North America. Over 30 conservation leaders have partnered in order to aid the conservation efforts and introducing essential species back into the area, like wolves and cougars. The partnership serves to open more opportunities for the Eastern Wildway campaign to reach its goals.^[1]

On-the-Ground Campaigns[edit]

On-the-Ground campaigns are the current fieldwork campaigns that the Wildlands Network has committed to.

Wild Cats Campaign[edit]

Cougars, Jaguars, Bobcats, Lynx, and Ocelots are important to the natural cycle of the ecosystem. Their populations have dwindled due to hunters, trappers, and habitat loss. The Wildlands Campaign caters to each of these cats in their original habitats in order to foster the populations. ^[1]

Cougars[edit]

Cougars are the most adaptable of all wild cats. Their populations have suffered due to human interference. The Wildlands Network focuses on 2 main goals in regards to the conservation of cougars. To push stronger policies for the protection of cougars in the Western U.S, and to continue the recovery of cougar populations in various wildland complexes. ^[2]

Jaguars[edit]

Jaguars are the largest wild cats in the world. Jaguar populations are dwindling at an alarming rate due to rapid urban development. The Wildlands Network focuses on creating conditions for jaguars to migrate freely between the US and Mexico because it is essential for their survival. ^[3]

Mid-Sized Wild Cats[edit]

Mid-Sized wild cats are endangered mostly because of climate change. The Wildlands Network aims to change policy in making mid-sized wild cats a higher priority for protection rather.^[4]
