The Foundation supports four strategies designed to achieve these goals across twelve U.S. states and three Canadian provinces:

Conserving land, with a goal of improving the ecological integrity of 300 million high-priority acres by 2035. The simplest definition of ecological integrity is that a place is sufficiently protected to ensure that unspoiled nature thrives.
Improving the water flows of key rivers, with a goal of improving the ecological integrity of 8,000 high-priority river miles by 2035.
Increasing western clean energy, with a goal of reducing the development of fossil fuels on 85 million high-priority acres by 2035.
Building broad support by engaging ranchers, farmers, hunters, anglers, faith-based organizations, as well as local businesses in areas where their influence is crucial to making progress on land, river, and energy goals.
