we’re working for wildness.
Wild Narrative Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization committed to holding government agencies accountable for their policy-making that affects vast Western landscapes and the species that call those open spaces Home.
Through investigative journalism and storytelling, we’re reporting on the Interior beat, exposing corruption driven by private interests, and dismantling disinformation that influences the conservation narrative.
we’re calling out bullshit.
Commercial livestock ranching is the culprit of the destruction of the vast majority of western public lands, and we won’t stand for the disinformation used to convince Americans that wolves should be hunted, mountain lions should be eliminated and wild horses should be rounded up.
and telling the true story.
We’re flipping the script on a lot of cowboy culture and deeply rooted false narratives perpetuated by corporate capitalism and the traditional outdoor industry.
We focus on the environmental impact of public lands ranching through the lens of federally-protected wild horses running free out West.
It’s a contentious issue, and after years of investigative research, we see how it’s a microcosm of what’s happening to everything wild across our western public lands.
how we’re doing the work.
We’re working on regular news updates, a podcast series, and a couple of short films to
1) Expose the corruption that’s deeply sewn into public land ranching, the agencies tasked with managing that land, and its direct effect on natural ecosystems.
2) Elevate unbiased data and research from experts not rooted in ranching or muddied by economic/stock interests.
3) Host discussions with diverse voices in science, environment, and history.
4) Provide resources so you can get the word out there along with us. Because it takes a lot of passionate, informed folks to change the narrative.
