New cumulative effects modeling done by the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative and ALCES Land-Use shows that every planning decision matters for the future of wildlife and people sharing space in Alberta’s Bow Valley.

Y2Y celebrates the start of construction on Alberta’s first wildlife overpass on provincial lands. This crossing structure is at a key point of the Yellowstone to Yukon region, and is one of several wildlife mitigation projects planned for the province.

The efforts and actions of two Indigenous communities in northern British Columbia have resulted in major gains for a particularly vulnerable group of caribou, according to new research released this week.  

Y2Y among 14 international environmental organizations calling for a global goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030, and achieve full recovery by 2050.

Y2Y says a recent announcement that the Alberta government will “restrict” coal-related exploration and development in the Eastern Slopes is news worth celebrating — with continued vigilance.

A new paper indicates wolverine research and conservation can’t stop at political borders to be effective at helping the elusive species.

After the climate disasters of 2021, B.C. residents want movement forward by the government. Polling commissioned by Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative shows that the majority of British Columbians care about nature, want it protected, and want to see big nature conservation goals set by the government for 2022.

A major poll recently commissioned by Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) confirms most Albertans care about nature and want it protected.

Research shows major conservation gains in the Yellowstone to Yukon region since 1993.

Alberta’s proposed new Trails Act does not clearly address the long-term protection of sensitive lands, waters, and wildlife in the province, say staff at Y2Y.
