Our Cause: Vital Ground Foundation
The Vital Ground Foundation protects and restores North America's grizzly bear populations by reconnecting isolated fragments of wildlands important for grizzly recovery and biodiversity.
The positive impact of their work goes well beyond saving a single species. Because the grizzly's range covers several hundred square miles - from alpine meadows to valley bottoms - protecting grizzly habitat benefits entire plant and animal communities in the wildest, most scenic places left on the continent.
