Achieving our vision across the Yellowstone to Yukon region — spanning the Yukon in Canada to Wyoming in the U.S. and at least 75 Indigenous territories — requires deep and ongoing collaboration. Here are just some of the impactful partnerships we are proud to be a part of in 2025.
Discover the difference you made in 2024 in Y2Y’s latest impact report.
Y2Y works to advance conservation by partnering with diverse communities to connect and protect this vast, ever-changing mountain region. To guide our conservation efforts, we draw from the best available information, including from natural and social sciences as well as local and Indigenous knowledge.
The biodiversity in the Creston Valley, B.C., is unique and thanks to local conservation efforts, still includes grizzly bears. This has created an opportunity for the community to create solutions for how wildlife and people can live alongside each other.
Thanks to your support, Y2Y’s landscape connection team can continue their important work identifying and restoring critical corridors across some of the region’s busiest roads and most important habitat connections.
When Y2Y began in 1993, grizzly bear populations in the Yellowstone region had become separated by over 240 kilometers (150 miles) from bears in the Glacier National Park region of Montana and into Canada. Today, the gap between grizzly bear populations in the southern Rockies has shrunk to just 72 kilometers (45 miles).
When I think about what we’ve accomplished together this year, I’m reminded that the most powerful force in conservation isn’t any single policy, paper, or protected area — it’s people coming together around what they love.
