Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative

The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) is a collaborative effort between U.S. and Canadian not-for-profit organizations that aims to protect and connect habitat from Yellowstone to the Yukon, allowing both people and nature to thrive. Spanning over half a million square miles, this unique region encompasses five American states, two Canadian provinces, two Canadian territories, and at least 75 Indigenous territories, making it the most intact large mountain region in North America.

Y2Y works to maintain natural connections for wildlife, communities, and culture, while also addressing the needs of the region's wildlife and people. Through landscape protection, collaboration with communities, and conservation efforts, Y2Y strives to create safe wildlife corridors, protect core habitat, and mitigate barriers that wildlife face as they move throughout the region. By doing so, they aim to tackle the loss of biodiversity and combat the effects of a changing climate.
