Meet our Biolink Coordinators
BioDiversity Legacy’s Biolink Coordinators are dedicated to supporting and enhancing community efforts to restore and protect small and large pockets of land to strengthen wildlife corridors and build stronger connections between plants, animals and people. The coordinators are primarily responsible for listening to landholders, community groups and others about their conservation challenges and finding pathways to in-perpetuity land protection.
