Restoring wildlife, reconnecting nature, inspiring hope.
Join award-winning science journalist Hillary Rosner at the Country Bookshelf in Bozeman at 7:00 pm on May 28 for a lively conversation about her book ROAM, the inspiring story of reconnecting ecosystems, restoring wildlife corridors, and reimagining a future where humans and animals can thrive together.
Rosner will explore some of the stories she tells in the book in a conversation with Mountain Journal Managing Editor Joseph O’Connor, followed by an audience Q&A featuring a panel of local conservation experts. The discussion will touch on how the movement to reconnect critical landscapes is playing out in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
The event is co-hosted by the Center for Large Landscape Conservation and the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative.
Hillary Rosner has reported on environmental issues from around the world for outlets such as National Geographic, NYT, The Atlantic, Scientific American, Audubon and many others. She specializes in telling complex science stories in ways that resonate deeply with general audiences.
More on ROAM
Drawing on more than 200 interviews, ROAM: Wild Animals and the Race to Repair Our Fractured World delves into one of the most pressing environmental crises of our time: the fragmentation of ecosystems and the urgent need to reconnect them. Discover the scientists, farmers, and community volunteers working to restore wildlife corridors, rewild landscapes, and reimagine infrastructure so that people and wildlife alike can flourish.
From highway overpasses to community-led projects that blend traditional knowledge with ecological science, ROAM reveals what it will take to stitch our natural world back together. Rosner shows how fences, farms, and sprawl have severed essential connections—and how repairing them may also help mend our own fractured relationships with each other and the planet. You’ll hear about the inspiring individuals driving change and leave with a fresh perspective on the delicate balance between humans and the creatures we share the world with.
