Wildways And Their Champions
Places still wild are so because of champions. These heroic individuals often include people who dedicate their lives to protecting or restoring or
reconnecting the lands they love; and the heroes always include animals, plants, and other life-forms that depend on and enrich the wild places.
Wildlands and their Champions includes articles by and interviews of the human champions who are defending the wild champions.
Here will live many of the podcasts we will do from interviews in the field with advocates for critical wild cores and habitat linkages. Here, too, will be described (in articles, podcasts, and videos) some of the brave adventures of the next generation of conservation leaders.
