The Endless Problem Spiral
1. Problem - Awareness Trap
Our Ability To Live With Nature? Yeah… it’s a bit of a problem.
Everyone knows something’s
gone wrong, but most conversations stop there.
- We live in a culture obsessed with the problem.
- We doom-scroll rants about drama fueled debates about wildlife.
- People rant about: droughts, wildlife disease, wolves, species collapse, wildfire, grizzlies, dead rivers.
- We hold summits, write op-eds, and fire up a thousand podcasts.
- We shout, “Something must be done.”
But here’s the thing
More awareness doesn’t equal more progress.
It often just leaves us pissed off… or powerless.
It’s a hamster wheel of concern and chaos , with no traction.
We mistake outrage for progress.
But one doesn’t build anything.
2. The Vague Solution
Let's Fix It.
Good Intentions Aren’t Enough.
Here comes a group of experts and politicians gathering in a conference room.
They do their best to leverage the data and community input.
But they’re facing an almost impossible setup
One that’s rigged to fail.
The solution sounds smart
LOOks great in a deck
But the reality?
It’s often disconnected.
Or about as adaptable as a chunk of concrete.
Usually the solution is outdated or repealed before it even rolls out.
Millions get spent
Half the public doesn’t trust it.
The other half doesn’t feel like it was done right.
And the folks on the ground; government agencies, wildlife managers, ranchers, landowners, local communities, neighbors at odds, all left to clean up the mess.
Nothing changes. Or worse, it backfires.
And soon… We’re back to complaining about the problem.
3. THE Self-Aware
Shift
This is where real momentum begins.
The Turning Point Is
When we drop the frustration and anger and say:
“I’m part of this, and I can do something.
In my own way, however big or small.”
I’m not just talking about donating to a nonprofit and hoping for the best.
That’s good stuff; NO DOUBT.
But it’s not enough.
This is a deeper shift, its about the moment we realize:
- The future doesn’t depend on “them”,
it depends on US. - The small, daily choices we make; how we eat, recreate, work, vote, and live actually matter
- We don’t need a master plan to start.
We just need to give a damn and take a step where its needed most.
WHEn we reach that point collectively
That’s When Mountains Move
Not because someone had the perfect solution.
Because enough of us cared enough to stop waiting, band together on both sides of the issue,
and start figuring it out together.
That’s when the shift happens.
That’s where the Wild Range Project begins.

Why We Started
The Wild Range Project
To Move The Story From
Problem → Solution → Self-Aware Action.
To cut through the noise and figure out what actually works.
To adapt, grow, and get real things done.
And to support and amplify real world solutions.
We’re Not Here To Complain.
We’re Not Here To Have All The Answers.
We’re here to nurture and tell the stories no one else is telling, the stories that remind us what's possible when people support innovative and impactful solutions.
The stories that inspire us all to get amazing things done for people, wildlife, and land management so nature thrives in the Rockies.
