The difference we want to make
Our goal is to permanently protect the remaining ecologically significant wilderness areas of Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and western Canada.

Protecting Wilderness

Two hundred years ago, western North America was largely an untamed landscape, teeming with wildlife, undisturbed forests and vast grasslands. Population growth and industrialization have destroyed most of the West’s once-intact ecosystems, leading to the extinction of numerous species and the habitat on which they depended.

Today, the last remaining large-scale ecosystems are located in northwestern North America. There, we can still find millions of acres of wilderness that provide habitat for a variety of species — from wide-ranging carnivores to migrating songbirds and delicate plants.

The Campion Foundation seeks to secure permanent protection for these remaining wild lands.
