The Western Landowners Alliance, representing the experience and voice of conservation-oriented landowners and managers, has emerged to address both the resulting opportunities and challenges at a west-wide scale. Deeply embedded in their communities, landowners constitute a major social, economic and political influence. They also manage the West's most biologically diverse lands. Working together through organizations like the Western Landowners Alliance, the Chama Peak Land Alliance, the Malpai Borderlands, the Quivira Coalition and the Blackfoot Challenge, among others, landowners are collectively generating a 'culture of conservation'. The era of entrenched warfare between environmental and agricultural organizations is winding to a close, replaced by the rise of what Arizona rancher and Malpai Borderlands founder, Bill McDonald, coined the 'radical center'. This shift represents a significant advance and new opportunities for wildlife conservation but requires new awareness, thinking and communication strategies on the part of environmental organizations, the scientific community, policy makers and funders.30 minutes 1 secondborn digitalmotion pictures (visual works)digital moving image formatsPresentation slidesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
