#SouthAmerica’s First Continental #WildlifeCorridor

By: Tompkins Conservation, October 9, 2025

"The #JaguarRiversInitiative is the first multi-country effort to create a massive wildlife corridor in the heart of South America. Uniting successful grassroots nonprofits in #Argentina, #Bolivia, #Brazil, and #Paraguay, the initiative will restore #ecosystems, bring back #KeySpecies, and develop #NatureBasedEconomies in a new cross-border model that addresses the mass #ExtinctionCrisis and climate instability on a global scale.

"In a groundbreaking announcement during #ClimateWeek in September [2025], an alliance of grassroots South American nonprofits launched South America’s largest continental-scale rewilding endeavor. The Jaguar Rivers Initiative plans to reconnect #FragmentedEcosystems across the vast #ParanáBasin using #RiverCorridors as the connective tissue. 'We all know the urgency of the #biodiversity and climate crises,' said Kristine Tompkins of Tompkins Conservation. 'This bold initiative underlines the need for coordinated, large-scale action before it’s too late. I’d call it a lifeline to our planet.'

"South America is in the midst of an unparalleled ecological crisis. #Wildlife populations across the region have declined by 94 percent since 1970—the steepest drop in the world. The drivers of this collapse—#deforestation, river degradation, #fragmentation, fire, and #overexploitation—are intensifying in the face of #ClimateChange.

"The Jaguar Rivers Initiative will restore, protect, and connect #ecosystems throughout the heart of South America, covering nearly one million square miles, an area almost twice the size of Alaska. According to Deli Saavedra, the director of the initiative, 'We’re undertaking a very strategic act to safeguard one of the largest river systems in the world. By restoring its ecological integrity, diverse species and communities currently under threat in four countries have the opportunity to thrive, using a model of nature restoration combined with regenerative economies that has been tested and proven successful in places like the #BrazilianPantanal and the #IberáWetlands of #Argentina.'

The initiative will be centered around four pillars:

• Arks: Large intact ecosystems with keystone species, restored and rewilded to become sources of wildlife dispersal.

• #BufferAreas: Surrounding zones where restorative economies promote coexistence and extend protection.

• Stepping Stones: Smaller wildlife refuges along corridors, often private reserves, that enable safe dispersal and reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

• #Rivers and #Floodplains: Vital corridors for connectivity, requiring healthy ecological flows; safeguarded through citizen guardianship, monitoring, and strong policies."

#A2P2 partnered with a number of local, statewide organizations for the event: Michigan Climate Action Network, the #University of #Michigan’s American Civil Liberties Union, Michigan League of Conservation Voters and Mop Up Michigan.

Systems change when the connections between their parts change, which means that community building is climate change response. Join us for a virtual #ClimateWeek conversation. What works and who do we need to be to build community in these times? September 25 at 1PM EST. https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/BpC_pHg5S5K_KWKVjwAxWg#/registration

I challenge the sustainability professionals at #climateweek (and during every week) to take a long look at the sustainability world and ask if it is getting the job done.

RT @turnpiketrap Spending $10.7B on widening an urban highway that bottlenecks at the Holland Tunnel. $24B in highway expansions across the state. Letting NJ Transit fall apart. Opposing congestion pricing. Climate hypocrisy.

For months leaders from Louisiana and Texas who suffer from the impacts of fossil fuel development have been trying to schedule a sit down meeting with Citi Executives.

On Monday September 23rd, about 50 community members, including scientists, joined the fight against fossil fuel expansion in the Gulf approaching Citi HQ in Manhattan in hopes of finally sitting down face to face with Citi leadership

Happy #ClimateWeek! It's exciting seeing a greater focus on climate and health this year.

The climate crisis is a health crisis and one of the most effective ways of convincing people to take action is to talk about health!

Here's a video I made about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARv-jM5-Gf4

Heading tò #NYC for #ClimateWeek using only public transportation. Certainly far behind what's available in the EU

How about we glam up #ClimateWeek as much we do #FashionWeek ?
