Grand Canyon Wildlands Council

The mission of the Wildlands Council is to create and apply a dynamic conservation area network that ensures the existence, health, and sustainability of all native species and natural ecosystems in the Grand Canyon ecoregion. This mission is both visionary and scientific. We accomplish our mission through effective and efficient conduct and assessment of scientific research and by offering creative, science-based solutions to land stewards, public citizens, and other conservation groups, through respectful communication in a spirit of good will.
