MAGIC
will work to connect and expand the greenway system in Maryland and
adjacent states to provide
corridors for wildlife and plant propagation. MAGIC recognizes such connections
are critical to providing long-term vitality and diversity of plants and
animals. Research has shown that biodiversity decreases in isolated parks
or small tracts of protected land. MAGIC's primary focus will be:
-
To promote the development of a system of interconnected
parks and other protected conservation land, as habitat for wildlife
and plants.
-
To provide wide wildlife corridors between fragmented
tracts of protected land to encourage propagation of wildlife and plants.
-
To protect watersheds from erosion and pollutants
to insure clean water is available for animal and human consumption.
-
To provide wildlife passages, under or over roads
where they cross wildlife corridors to enable animals or trails users
to cross roads safely.
-
To serve as a clearinghouse and coordinating office
on conservation policy matters, on scientific and technical data relating
to conservation, and on meetings and actions concerned with conservation
and protection of all species.
-
To work with our members, and like-minded government
and private agencies in furtherance of our defined goals.
MAGIC is a 501(c)(3) organization,
incorporated in the state of Maryland.
