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.

Whitebark pine are found at the highest and coldest locations across the Yellowstone to Yukon region. Important food for grizzly bears, these ancient, rare trees are disappearing as mountain pine beetles, helped by climate change, ravage them.

What role does science play at Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative?

Gravel-bed river ecosystems and floodplains are some of the most ecologically important habitats in North America.
