In northern B.C., near the Yukon border, Dene K’éh Kusān is the largest tract of intact, unprotected wilderness in B.C. It’s the beating heart of the Yellowstone to Yukon region, a globally significant landscape stretching across 40,000 square kilometers (9.88 million acres). It’s also the territory of the Kaska Dena, who have cared for these lands for thousands of years. And they have a plan to protect it for thousands of years more.
Natural ecosystems are powerful climate tools, pulling carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere, and locking it away in forests, soils, and peatlands. This reduces the greenhouse effect and keeps the planet cooler. With this in mind, Y2Y’s science team set out to measure how powerful the Yellowstone to Yukon region really is.
We recently partnered with Hipcamp to reach the 700+ hosts who offer camping experiences within the Yellowstone to Yukon region. Our goal is to provide best practices for hosting in wilderness areas, safely sharing space with wildlife, and get ahead of any bear problems before they start.
The stunning Elk Valley has been home to grizzly bears, bighorn sheep and lynx for centuries. And key parcels of land called the Kootenay Forest Lands project, located within the homelands of the Ktunaxa Nation, are now protected for generations to come.
Your giving is like a watershed — it keeps every inch of the Yellowstone to Yukon region healthy for generations to come.
Thanks to you, we’re making progress towards protecting and connecting more of the Yellowstone to Yukon region.
