Pennsylvania wildlife corridor foundation (PAWcorridor.org) was established in 2026 to preserve land in and around priority zones which can still support endangered species and are adjacent to populations of Pennsylvania's wildlife populations.

We have learned to have the native wildlife help preserve and restore itself. We install cages around native shrubs so the wildlife doesn't instantly browse the young shrub before they can produce berries. Stewarding the native berries for birds allows them to help restore the environment spreading the native instead of the massive presence of invasive plants such as mile a minute or porcelain berry vines with their berries.
Wildlife corridors are connectors of 2 previously seperated habitat areas which have been seperated by roads, homes, or businesses. This helps support diverse genes so that inbreeding doesn't occur or isolated animals can find a mate.
Edge Effect
Roads cut through habitat dividing populations while also limiting the wildlife the ecosystem can support. Larger animals need larger swaths of wilderness to sustain their way of life. The new edges of this divided ecosystem are now populated by more small animals which live around the edges of forests. Wildlife corridors can help reconnect these divided habitats by creating welcome safe passage reconnecting the animal population and a more diverse habitat.
Why is preserving habitat important?
Wildlife cannot advocate for itself. A native ecosystem has species soil that supports specific plants, that support specific insects and animals that have evolved over thousands of years. The only preservation laws are based around endangered species. Our Endangered Species Act is the law that we reference as a tool to preserve endangered species. Many times residential or business complex developers overlook an endangered species which lives at a site that they want to develop which could eradicate a species. Developers look at this law as a cumbersome nuisance which prevents them from making money.
How to report the location of an endangered species?
Reporting the location of an endangered species can prompt the protection of its habitat from development. State laws maybe more strict than federal so report the endangered species to State wildlife agencies first, which can trigger legal protections.
State
Contact your state’s Natural Heritage Program or Department of Fish and Wildlife. Take pictures, get GPS location (Turn on cellphone location then take the picture), identify the species.
Federal
You can also report endangered species
Online to Federal (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) agency
Call FWS tip hotline at (1-844-397-8477)
IPAC (Information for Planning and Consultation) is a project planning tool that streamlines the USFWS environmental review process.
You do not have to feel bad about protecting the environment or our wildlife if you prevent a landowner from clearcut logging or a developer for prevention business complexes or residential development. Nonprofit, County, State, and Federal funds exist to provide grant money to preserve habitat through wildlife corridors, expansion of parks, open space, forest canopy preservation for carbon sequestration, etc...
