California Wildlife Reconnected

Through California Wildlife Reconnected , we are building collaboration, momentum and enthusiasm for connectivity efforts and wildlife crossings—and advancing proven and innovative solutions to reconnect habitats and safeguard the future of wildlife.

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, which broke ground on Earth Day in 2022, has proven the transformative power of public-private partnerships in bringing connectivity infrastructure projects to fruition. California Wildlife Reconnected, a partnership originated by Governor Gavin Newsom, the California Natural Resources Agency, Caltrans, The Wildlife Crossing Fund, and the National Wildlife Federation’s #SaveLACougars campaign, seeks to scale this successful collaborative model to build more wildlife crossings and improve wildlife movement across the state.

In addition to the originating partners, the founding advisory team for California Wildlife Reconnected includes a group of expert NGO’s and practitioners in the field of connectivity: ARC Solutions, The Nature Conservancy, Planning and Conservation League, Rock Design Associates, Wildlife Conservation Network, Wildlands Network, Fearless Advocacy, and Pathways for Wildlife.
