The Yellowstone to Yukon landscape stretches 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to the Peel River watershed in the Yukon Territory. This 502,000-square-mile (1.3 million-square-kilometer) region includes parts of five American states, two Canadian provinces, and two Canadian territories.

The region's geographic diversity is one of its finest features. This vast landscape is comprised of a wide variety of habitat types, including mountain ranges, woodlands, native prairies and grasslands, glacial-fed rivers, and wetlands. Approximately 10 percent of the region has protected status, as a wildlife refuge, wilderness area, or park.

The Y2Y region is home to incredible wildlife, vital human communities, and a beautiful landscape. Also, it provides adaptive space for species negatively impacted by climate change. This is a landscape well worth preserving and restoring for both wild and human communities, now and into the future.
