As we know, conserving wildlife—in the Gallatin Valley, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and in public and private landscapes across Montana and throughout the West— contributes to our lives and livelihoods in many ways, some beyond imagining even 30 or 40 years ago. The central issue of wildlife conservation is coexistence, which is only being magnified by the numbers of people moving into our region. How do we conserve wildlife and promote biodiversity across large landscapes? What are local examples of projects that conserve wildlife on ranches, farms, and public lands? If coexistence with wildlife is a primary focus of conservation, how does it work? How is it working?
