Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y®) is a collaborative effort between a U.S. non-profit organization and a Canadian public charity that together connect and protect habitat from Yellowstone to Yukon so people and nature can thrive.

Recognizing that communities thrive when everyone has fair access to opportunities, Y2Y values a broad range of perspectives, fosters a culture of respect and belonging, and upholds principles of fairness, environmental responsibility, and social justice. We oppose actions and policies that undermine these commitments within the projects and work that we do in advancing the Y2Y vision on the ground.

Land Acknowledgment

Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative’s head offices are within Treaty 7, signed in 1877 by the Ĩyãħé Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) Nations of Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney; the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) Nations of Siksika, Aapatohsipikani (North Piikani), and Kainai; Tsuut’ina First Nation; and the British Crown.

These lands also overlap with the homelands of Aamskaapipikani (Blackfeet), Secwépemc, Ktunaxa, Mountain Cree, and the Métis Nation of Alberta district 4.

We further acknowledge that the broader Yellowstone to Yukon region overlays at least 75 Indigenous territories.
