Large carnivores and ungulates are threatened due to habitat fragmentation & loss, drought, harsh winters and conflict
We work locally in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and globally with stakeholders, wildlife agencies, and policy makers to support sustainable solutions protecting populations, habitat & dispersal corridors for connectivity.
We are stakeholders in the management and preservation of native large carnivore species
Though historically adversarial, we've come together as a unified group representing the millions who are living with and appreciate the benefits of a full predat guild on the landscape.
Large Carnivore Fund has the strong scientific background, embracing the best scientific evidence, highest standards of wildlife ethics, and ethical conduct.
Our interests radiate from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem outward through the Northern Rockies and beyond.
Our core objectives
ICLAAW
In cooperation with ranchers are building an International Community for Landscapes, Agriculture, Animals and Wildlife to support ranchers, herders, farmers and communities that are or want to try or transition to practices that support conflict reduction with wildlife, based on success by their local peers. We have more potential by working together under a new paradigm than in opposition under the old.
Changing minds
In the Northern Rockies and Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem we still have “one of the largest nearly intact temperate-zone ecosystems on Earth”. This is not just a state or national treasure, but a global one.
Changing minds
A healthy predator guild on the landscape strengthens ungulate herds and habitat. We recognize there will be hunting, and support fair chase hunting, not persecution under the facade of wildlife management.
Changing laws
We recognize there will be hunting, and support fair chase hunting, not persecution under the facade of wildlife management.
