"Our vision is a future based on conservation, restoration, recovery and connectivity.
Accomplishing this will enhance the status of the Carrizo Plain as a wildlife area of international importance and capitalize on recently acquired conservation lands and past conservation investments.
Cooperative efforts will ensure successful habitat restoration and expansion of conserved lands to fill in the gaps between protected lands, making the Carrizo the focal point of the 2.5 million acres of surrounding conserved lands. For these newly conserved lands to achieve their maximum value their linkages to surrounding conserved lands must be strengthened and expanded.
The Carrizo as macro landscape means looking at conservation at landscape scale and working out how to keep the whole Carrizo Plain intact for wildlife and connected to the surroundings."
