Rocky Mountain Wild works to protect, connect, and restore wildlife and wildlands in the Southern Rocky Mountain region. 

We envision a biologically healthy future for our region – one that includes a diversity of species and ecosystems, thriving populations of wildlife, and a sustainable coexistence between people and nature. Using research, community science, legal action, and advanced geospatial analysis, we offer solutions for conserving our most at-risk animal and plant species and landscapes.

Protecting biodiversity is a BIG job, and we know that we can’t do it alone. We are actively building a diverse community of educators, students, activists, philanthropists, and community scientists to help us make our vision a reality. From providing guidance on our board of directors to helping us collect data in the field, our community makes our work possible – and fun.

Like many other environmental nonprofits with all-white leadership, Rocky Mountain Wild as an organization largely saw issues of social justice as “mission creep” until George Floyd’s murder in the summer of 2020. During the height of the Black Lives Matter and racial liberation movement, the organization began to recognize that our work to protect wildlife and wild lands can’t be removed from and must be informed by human affairs and historical and current systemic racism.

Since January 2022, the new leadership team has restructured our organization into a non-hierarchical format to be a more just, equitable, and inclusive workspace, where everyone feels empowered to speak to their experience, create abundance for discussion and innovation, and create an organization that embodies rather than includes these principles.

We are on this journey together and know we have a long way to go. We seek an individual who is willing to meet us where we are and is invigorated to help us grow into the humanistic and liberatory workspace we eventually hope to be.
