Appendices to Rewilding North America
Due to space limitations, the three appendices to Rewilding
North America were not included in the printed book, but are
available on the Island Press website. Clicking
here
will take you directly to them.
Appendix A
“Large Core Complexes in the South-to-North MegaLinkages” lists
the tentative large core complexes with estimated acreages for the
Pacific, Spine of the Continent, and Atlantic MegaLinkages.
Appendix B
“Wildlands Network Unit Classification” is a more detailed
description of the kinds of units that make up a wildlands network
than the discussion in the book.
Appendix C
“Groups Working on Continental-Scale Conservation” is a contact
list of the primary groups involved with continental-scale
conservation. (A more extensive contact list of such groups
with links to their websites will later appear on The Rewilding
Institute website.)
Island Press
Island Press is the
world’s foremost publisher of conservation books. We are
pleased to link to their book categories that deal with rewilding
and continental-scale conservation issues.

Organizational Links by
Category
The Rewilding Institute is
a resource for rewilding and continental-scale conservation.
In this Organizational Directory we provide links to a wide variety
of groups (local, regional, national, and international) working on
various aspects of rewilding and continental-scale conservation.
These groups are listed
under several categories; some are listed in more than one category.
Where the group’s location isn’t obvious from their name, we give
the region where the group is involved. Groups generally
working on national or international scales are listed first in each
category.
This list is not complete.
We hope to add groups to it as we become aware of their work.
If you would like to be listed in this directory, please
send us your website address and a sentence or two describing
what you do. The decision to list groups rests solely with The
Rewilding Institute. If you no longer wish to be listed or
your group is defunct or its mission has changed, please let us
know.
