ICLAAW started as a collaborative project by Large Carnivore Fund and The Tom Miner Basin Association for ranchers. We are expanding this to globally support ranching, herding and farming and resources to reduce conflict with wildlife on working landscapes. The goal is simple: Prioritize our natural resources, and in doing so our ways of life.
ICLAAW was founded within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which spans 22 million acres / 8,903,084 hectares across the states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho in the United States. We call this massive, complex, diverse and threatened ecosystem home.
We’re all different but share a common goal: to keep our ecosystem as intact as possible. From working lands, wilderness, wildlife and megafauna, livilihoods depend on wild places.
ICLAAW launched in the spring of 2025, and started being developed a year before. We are expanding from North America to more active countries.
Working on building partnerships with international agencies for sustainable, lasting change from within communities, by the people making a living from the land.
As this community grows we will add statistics to show our progress.
Designed and built for ranchers, breeders, herders, farmers and communities that are or want to try practices that support rich working landscapes with all the native wildlife that belong in the ecosystem.
Working lands provide food, fiber, energy and critical habitat for wildlife. In the US, approximately 80% of wildlife species depend farms, ranches, and forests for their survival.
