Western Watersheds Project on conserving public lands
From The Sopris Sun:
Advocating for healthy public lands and wildlife is at the heart of the Western Watersheds Project (WWP). The organization started in 1993, then the Idaho Watersheds Project, as a form of citizen protest to ranching practices in Lake Creek, Idaho. WWP’s work is done through a lens of maintaining and restoring ecosystem balance in places where humans and livestock overlap with wildlife.
Now 30 years into this work, WWP does much more than just compete at land-leasing auctions. With field offices in six states and addressing 250 million acres of public land, WWP is involved in initiatives from pollinator protection to wolf reintroduction, and from litigations and negotiations to public information campaigns.
