Meet Annie and Devin, two Y2Y-UNBC postdoctoral fellows studying crucial conservation topics in the Yellowstone to Yukon region.

The more we understand about wolverines and how our actions impact them, the more we know what’s needed to keep them connected and protected.

Studying recreation at a large scale is a big undertaking! Luckily, we have had help. Meet three of the interns Y2Y and UNBC have worked with on our recreation ecology project in 2020 and 2021.

Social scientist, Master’s student and one of Y2Y’s 2020 Sarah Baker grant recipients works to uncover why First Nations shoulder the burden of recovering degraded habitat caused by resource extraction.

The grizzly bear recovery work in North America is important for species conservation. But how does this benefit other species?

New research shows B.C.’s inland temperate rainforest is a conservation priority not only for its biodiversity, but because of its ability to provide critical ecosystem services for people.

With increasing impacts of climate change, we need smart planning and decisions that protect the places wildlife and people need most. This is where the research of one of Y2Y’s 2020 Sarah Baker Memorial Fund recipients will lend a helping hand.

In this guest post, Megan Szojka describes her experience working as one of Y2Y’s conservation science interns in fall 2020. Learn more about how she contributed to Y2Y’s recreation ecology project in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Learn how by supporting Y2Y, you are helping ensure birds have a landing pad of safe, healthy habitat to depend on — especially in the face of climate change.

Bears in the Yellowstone-to-Yukon region have been working hard all summer and fall to prepare for a long winter of rest. Learn about how bears hibernate, and why they need safe habitats year-round.

Lichen is a great example of just how crucial it is to safeguard all species to ensure ecosystems are healthy overall.
