Engaging people in collaborative solutions to local environmental problems.

Identifying and protecting keystone species.

Working to protect, connect, and restore wildlife and wild lands in the Southern Rocky Mountain region.

We envision a biologically healthy future for our region – one that includes a diversity of species and ecosystems, thriving populations of wildlife, and a sustainable coexistence between people and nature. Using research, community science, legal action, and advanced geospatial analysis, we offer solutions for conserving our most at-risk animal and plant species and landscapes.

Go Big! Central Colorado Bighorn Sheep Survey

We're protecting connectivity in Eagle Valley!

We recently joined with our friends at Wilderness Workshop to file a lawsuit in Federal Court, asking for a ruling overturning the White River National Forest's Record of Decision for the Berlaimont Estates Road Improvement Project that was issued last Friday.

The WRNF lands adjacent to and near the proposed Berlaimont Estates Development provide important habitat for sensitive and protected plants and wildlife, including Canada lynx, greenback cutthroat trout, and greater sage-grouse; sensitive bird species like the Brewers Sparrow; and declining populations of deer, elk, and Harrington’s Penstemon.

Explore the Irresponsible Operators Map

Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) passed new financial assurance rules last year that Governor Jared Polis calls the “strongest in the nation.” The goal was to require operators to better prepare to meet the financial costs of cleaning up drilling and production sites.

Operators have now filed Financial Assurance Plans with COGCC. Rocky Mountain Wild and partners have reviewed these plans. Many operators are following the spirit and intent of the rules. However, we created this interactive map showing that dozens of Colorado’s oil and gas producers (including K.P. Kauffman) are skirting these rules.

Join the GAPS Mentorship Program

The Gender Advancement and Parity in STEM (GAPS) program supports our work to reduce gender bias in our field through mentorship and internships for people from marginalized genders.

And during Women's History Month, we're taking applications for our mentorship program! The mentorship program connects emerging and more seasoned environmentalists and scientists from marginalized genders together to network, support, and build capacity.
