Heart of the Rockies is a partnership of 27 land trusts working together to increase the pace of durable conservation in the Central Rockies of North America through their Keep It Connected initiative. Their mission is to ensure connected habitat and working lands for people and wildlife, while their vision is to create a region where engaged communities collaborate across boundaries to protect and steward the lands and waters that sustain natural systems and support livelihoods.
With a focus on justice, equity, and inclusion, Heart of the Rockies recognizes the importance of addressing historical inequities in conservation work. They offer programs such as the High Divide Collaborative, which brings together over 200 people from 80 different organizations to restore biodiversity and wildlife connectivity, and the Rural Development program, which supports rural communities in achieving their vision and goals. Additionally, their Carnivore Conflict Reduction programs aim to maintain producer viability while managing the increasing interaction between large carnivores and agricultural operations. Through their efforts, Heart of the Rockies strives to create lasting conservation outcomes in the region.
