Saving a Place for America's Predators. Predators Are An Important Part of Nature Viable populations of diverse predator species are critical to maintaining the integrity of our wildlands heritage, and the ecological balance between wildlife and wildlands. Conservation biologists view the status of grizzly bears, wolves, lynx, wolverines, and black-footed ferrets as an indication of an ecosystem's health. Simply stated, we need predators to help create and maintain intact ecosystems. Because of these factors, some predators have been extirpated from their historic ranges, while others teeter on the brink.
All predators face a difficult future.
They and their habitats desperately need our help. Without help, these important species will continue to decline, along with the diversity and viability of naturally functioning ecosystems. The truth is that loss of these great creatures would be a major loss to our Nation's natural and cultural heritage. All of the species Predator Conservation Alliance advocates for represent one or more of these values. In short, we are saving a place for America's predators.
