Mighty Earth is accepting applications for a Vermont-based State Director as we expand our efforts to rewild native ecosystems and reintroduce keystone species with an initial focus on catamounts.

Mighty Earth's Rewilding Campaign: We know every species has a role to play in a healthy ecosystem, but catamounts, wolves, lynx, and other keystone species were eradicated in the Northeast by early settlers. The forests of the northeast have regrown substantially, but a lack of large predators means that these ecosystems are still out of balance.
Rewilding can have significant trophic effects that remove and sequester carbon that otherwise contributes to atmospheric warming. Additionally, overpopulation of deer is diminishing forest health, causing deadly vehicle crashes, causing chronic wasting disease, and spreading Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. However, the Northeast is one of the most pro-conservation regions in the country. Catamounts enjoy strong cultural support in the region and are recognized as an animal that has a rightful place in Northeastern forests. We are on the cusp of a great rewilding moment and the Campaign Manager will be critical to the success of this work! (Read more about the vision of rewilding the East here).
