The Wildlands Project has offered a radical but pretty popular solution to this problem with "wildways," or major wildlife corridors that span the entire continent.

Their current focus is NA, and they seem to be working hardest on planning the Eastern Wildway at the moment.

- mc32 9y agoThat's a pretty neat idea. We have some relatively unpopulated (people) states. If we were authoritarian, we could incent people to move out and allow these locales to become wildernesses -homes to wild species. Places like NM, ND, etc. But even then there are a few states where the vast majority of people live in cities along interstates --the interiors are lightly populated (though often private lands). It might be slow going, but with determination and tenacity then could make a go of something like this.
