SNA Two Part Webinar

Part 1: Sierra Wildlife Habitat Connectivity

The Sierra Nevada holds continental-scale significance for wildlife connectivity, serving as a critical bridge between ecosystems spanning from the Cascades to the Mojave Desert. As species such as wolves, mule deer, pine marten, Sierra Nevada red fox, and porcupine navigate an increasingly fragmented landscape, maintaining connected habitats across the Sierra is essential to their long-term survival. In this webinar, Mari Galloway will highlight how wildlife crossings, research, policy, and restoration efforts are helping reconnect and restore landscapes across the Sierra Nevada.

As California Program Director, Mari leads initiatives to enhance wildlife connectivity and protect core habitats statewide. With policy expertise and a deep passion for California’s ecology, she strategically connects partners, resources, and information for data-driven ecosystem efforts. Mari’s work coordinating wildlife crossings, advancing research, and collaborating with diverse stakeholders informs policy solutions and addresses systemic barriers. She holds a BS in environmental science from Cal Poly Humboldt and a law degree from the University of Oregon.
