"The lands bought are considering especially important because most abut parcels which the US Forest Service already owns: With this purchase the contiguous areas under protection can be increased. This in turn will allow animals, such as Grizzly bear, to travel over greater distances without having to cross developed areas. It also has positive implications for the protection of biodiversity in the region."
