The Vital Ground Foundation

Description

• Operating as a land trust, the mission of Vital Ground is to protect and restore North America's grizzly bear populations by conserving wildlife habitat.Vital Ground believes the grizzly bear, as an umbrella species, is one of nature's barometers of a healthy and complete ecosystem. Because the grizzly's home range covers several hundred square milesfrom alpine meadows to valley bottomsprotecting grizzly habitat benefits entire plant and animal communities in the wildest, most scenic, places left on the continent.Grizzly and other brown bear populations persist only in the continent's last wilderness ecosystems. Between, within, and at the edges of these ecosystems, roads and development are rapidly filling open lands and valley floors, frittering away once wild landscapes and creating habitat fracture zones. Habitat links between these wild grizzly sanctuarieslands that provide food, shelter and security for seasonal foraging and movementare the crux of grizzly survival and recovery. Today these lands are clad in streamside willows and cottonwoods, pastures, grasslands, wet meadows, clear waters, and conifer forestshabitat for innumerable species. Tomorrow they could be peppered with homes, roads, and other developments.This is where we target our resources and efforts. We protect jigsaw puzzle pieces of habitat to maintain the lifelines between grizzly ecosystems. Lifelines that will help sustain bears and everything else that depends on grizzly country.
