#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."

#Florida's #WildlifeCorridor Is Turning Five!

#LiveWildly Celebrates with a New Interactive Map Showing How Greater Conservation Inside the Corridor Can Bring Billions in Benefits

Press Release • Jul 1, 2026

Nearly half-a-million acres of the Corridor's lands and waters have been protected since 2021 - but much more is needed

Excerpt: " 'The story of the Wildlife Corridor is still being written,' said Meredith Budd, Deputy Director of the Live Wildly Foundation. 'In just five years, the impact of the Corridor is already being felt by communities across Florida. But much more can - and must - be done to ensure future generations will continue to benefit from the Corridor's vibrant lands, waters and #wildlife.'

"More than 8 million acres of 'opportunity areas' - healthy lands and waters threatened by #fragmentation and #UnsustainableDevelopment - lie within the #WildlifeCorridor. Through the interactive map, users can identify opportunity areas such as:

- More than 2 million acres of land that recharge aquifers that store and filter water

- Some 3.4 million acres of floodplains that absorb and slow the spread of flood waters, helping shield communities for disasters

- 5 million acres of lakes, rivers and other surface water areas that support communities, wildlife, recreation and businesses

- More than 5 million acres of farms, ranchlands, timberlands and other working lands.

"Florida's Wildlife Corridor is a network of connected lands and waters that spans 18 million acres from the #Panhandle to the #Everglades. It supports 114,000 jobs and generates $30 billion in annual revenue through recreation, tourism, agriculture, forestry, and other industries. The Corridor also is home to nearly half of Florida's species - including #manatees, #GopherTortoise, #BurrowingOwl, and the #FloridaPanther."

Reconnecting the Wild #Midwest

Explore how #TNC is rebuilding connections between habitats to help #MidwestWildlife—and people—thrive in a changing climate

Published March 02, 2026

"Wildlife needs room to roam, and the Midwest is full of amazing habitats—such as forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers—that aren’t connected, leaving wildlife stuck and struggling. That's why TNC is linking forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers across the Midwest so wildlife can move, adapt and thrive.

"What Is a Wildlife Corridor? Why Are They Important?

"#Habitat Crridors can be interconnected land-based environments, such as #forests and #prairies, as well as #rivers and other freshwater passages that allow aquatic species to move freely. These healthy, #biodiverse areas are beneficial for people too, as they can help reduce flood risk to communities and provide more recreational opportunities in nature.

"However, the Midwest region is highly fragmented. #Habitats are subdivided across different landowners, and many are highly degraded.

"To address this, TNC serves as our own type of corridor, coordinating protection and #stewardship efforts across properties owned by many different partners. Through these collaborations, we help secure funding to connect science with #conservation on the ground and in the water.

"Our work includes large-scale #HabitatRestoration projects that create and improve pathways, like our #CoastalRepair efforts in #SanduskyBay, #DamRemoval efforts in Southern #Indiana and our prescribed fire work in Southern #Illinois."

#Florida #WildlifeCorridor linking #StateParks would thwart #development

#LoxaLucie Headwaters Initiative aims to buy #HobeSound land for conservation.

by Timothy O'Hara, Jan. 2, 2026

"At a time when development pressure is pushing north into rural Martin County, conservation groups want to protect a wildlife corridor between two state parks in Hobe Sound.

"The Loxa-Lucie Headwaters Initiative was founded to protect the ecologically important corridor between #AtlanticRidgePreserve State Park and #JonathanDickinson State Park and connect the #LoxahatcheeRiver and #SaintLucie rivers. That would create a preserve for #NativePlants and #wildlife species that would span about 70,000 acres.

"The public owns #Hapatiokee and #PalMar regional parks, but there are thousands of acres of privately owned land in natural conditions that are ripe for development, said Guardians of Martin County Executive Director Greg Braun, whose group is part of the initiative.

" 'If they can connect the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, we should be able to connect Jonathan Dickinson State Park to Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park,' Braun told TCPalm."

#WhitefishMT - #ConservationEasement enhances #WildlifeCorridor near Whitefish

Jan. 13, 2026 — "A newly created conservation easement along the #StillwaterRiver west of Whitefish is expected to help secure a critical wildlife corridor.

"Doug and Carolyn Kohrs worked with #FlatheadLandTrust to establish the 110-acre conservation easement earlier this month. The acreage, which augments a 655-acre conservation easement that the couple established in 2022, connects with the 1,560-acre #KuhnsWildlifeManagementArea and vast swaths of state and federally managed forestlands.

" 'Carolyn and I are excited to add this additional piece of wildlife-critical land to our existing easement,' said Doug Kohrs of the easement. 'Secure and safe wildlife corridors are important for all the different animal species who live in the valley, especially as the inevitable development creeps closer to their natural habitat.'

"The Kohrs have personally documented 95 bird species on the property, along with vital #wildlife species like #GrizzlyBears, #BlackBears, #MountainLions, #wolves, #bobcats, #elk and #deer. The easement also includes a stretch of the Stillwater River that provides habitat for #BullTrout and #WestslopeCutthroatTrout.

"The land was slated for an eight-home #subdivision before the Kohrs acquired it in 2005.

"The terms of the conservation easement prohibit division of the property and regulate construction to specific areas. The land can still be used for #agriculture.

"The easement is perpetual, meaning any future landowners would be required to abide by the same requirements.

" 'Just as this land serves as a vital anchor for a critical wildlife corridor, the Kohrs themselves have become a cornerstone of conservation in the #FlatheadValley,' reads a Jan. 6 press release from Flathead Land Trust. "Their dedication has created the essential framework for a landscape that remains open, connected and productive, ensuring that the region's natural character endures for generations."

The #CowichanRiver #estuary is one of the largest & most important in #BritishColumbia. The #watershed drains 90,000 hectares & provides #CriticalHabitat to dozens of #fish species, including #steelhead, #Chinook, #chum, #coho & #PinkSalmon, as well as brown, #cutthroat & #RainbowTrout. But the #Cowichan’s troubles are by no means unique; they are a #CaseStudy for a much larger problem.

#TimberCompanies store #LogBooms all along the #BCcoast, says Jamieson Atkinson, a fish #biologist & program manager for the #Aquatic #Research & #Restoration Centre at #BritishColumbiaConservationFoundation. “It’s shocking.” While #estuaries make up less than 3% of British Columbia’s coast, they provide rich #habitat for 80% of the province’s coastal #wildlife. The #FraserRiver estuary, near #Vancouver on the mainland, supports more than 300 species of #birds & 80 species of fish & #shellfish for at least part of their life cycles.

This incredible footage shows some of the 600 Rainbow lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus) being released back into the wild after surviving Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome (LPS) 🦜

The mysterious condition has afflicted hundreds of birds, causing them to lose balance and be unable to fly despite not showing any apparent injuries.⁠
