Why is preserving wild land important?
Retaining road-less wilderness and wild land is important to preserving the earth’s bio-diversity. The land acquired through EcologyFund provides critical wildlife habitat to many endangered or threatened species. Establishing corridors to connect wilderness pockets is necessary for species survival. Preserving the complex web of existing forests is much easier than trying to recreate them. It is also the most cost effective method of reducing greenhouse gases, and it serves as a storehouse for biological information that may help fight cancer or other diseases in the future.
