with your support, we’re helping people and nature thrive
We work to connect and protect habitat from Yellowstone to Yukon so that people and nature can thrive.
Spanning an area of 3,400 km (2,100 miles) from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in the south to the Yukon Territory in the north, we strive to connect and protect enough space for a wide range of species — including grizzly bears, elk, wolves, caribou, wolverwines and more — to roam, feed, and reproduce.
Our vision is an interconnected system of wild lands and waters stretching along the spine of the Rocky Mountains, harmonizing the needs of people with those of nature.
And keeping it wild takes all of us.
Your support powers a movement to protect key habitat and wildlife corridors, reverse the loss of biodiversity, and act as an antidote to a changing climate.
1.3 million km2 | 500,000 mi2 with wilderness at its core
Spanning five U.S. states, two Canadian provinces, two territories and more than 75 Indigenous territories, the Yellowstone to Yukon region is the largest intact mountain system left on earth.
It’s rare. It’s vital. And it’s one of our best natural defenses against biodiversity loss and a changing climate. With your support, our work helps wildlife move freely, while supporting the people and communities who share this land with them.
Let’s work together to keep it wild.
