In New Mexico:
During the last week of August, Defenders of Wildlife staff attended a wildlife connectivity workshop in Taos, NM to discuss corridors across land ownership in New Mexico and Colorado. The Upper Rio Grande Watershed spans the two states and contains federal, state, tribal and private lands that all contribute to important wildlife migrations. The objective of all the stakeholder groups is to ensure wildlife can move freely through the landscape unhindered by fences, highways and other barriers. Senator Martin Heinrich attended and gave the keynote address and Defenders of Wildlife was a co-sponsor of the event.
