Restoring Wildlife Across the Northwest
Successful species recovery depends on deliberate action, collaboration, and accountable management. Conservation Northwest leads species restoration, policy advocacy, coexistence programs, and population monitoring to help at-risk and imperiled wildlife return to their historic ranges.
Our Approach
How Wildlife Recovery Happens
Diverse animal species make our region rich and vibrant – and thriving populations signal healthy forests, grasslands and watersheds.
As we work to protect Northwest wildlands and to connect core habitats and large landscapes, we also champion the return of key animal species while building greater social tolerance to safeguard their long-term recovery.
Key focus areas:
- We work with government agencies to restore threatened species
- We serve on the Washington Wolf Advisory Group and Wildlife Diversity Advisory Council
- We seek accountable implementation of laws that safeguard imperiled species
Our Work Restoring Wildlife
Our wildlife restoration work focuses on protecting species, supporting coexistence, and ensuring responsible management across the Northwest.
Wildlife Policy
Strong wildlife policy drives lasting conservation success. We advocate for science-based management, adequate funding, and effective implementation that supports biodiversity across the Northwest.
Wildlife Coexistence
Lasting recovery depends on people and wildlife sharing the landscape. We work with communities and landowners to reduce conflict, build understanding, and implement practical, durable coexistence solutions.

Species Recovery
Healthy wildlife populations sustain the Northwest’s ecological fabric. We protect vulnerable species, restore critical habitat, and support reintroduction efforts that bring animals back from the brink.
Community Wildlife Monitoring Program
Good decisions depend on good data. Our trained volunteer network expands the reach of wildlife research, delivering critical information that informs management and conservation across the region.

Tracking Wildlife on the Ground
Effective restoration depends on knowing where wildlife lives and how populations change over time. Our Community Wildlife Monitoring Program works with local partners to collect data that informs smarter, more responsive conservation decisions.
