SUMMARY:Connecting the Wild with Dr. Jodi Hilty | Salt Spring Island\, B.C.
DESCRIPTION:In the 1990s\, a female grey wolf named Pluie traveled an extraordinary distance from Alberta into Montana and back\, crossing highways\, valleys\, and mountain ranges. Her journey helped shift scientific understanding of how far wildlife move and underscored the profound importance of conserving and connecting landscapes. \nJoin Dr. Jodi Hilty\, President and Chief Scientist of Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative at 7:00 pm on Tuesday\, May 5\, 2025 at the Salt Spring Island Conservancy office for a special presentation. \nJodi will shares the story of how Pluie inspired the Yellowstone to Yukon vision and how all conservation efforts\, including Indigenous-led conservation\, are important for reaching the shared global goal of protecting 30 percent of lands and waters by 2030. \nDoors open at 6:30 pm. Presentation at 7 pm. By donation\, RSVP required at the link.

SUMMARY:Nature Positive deep dive: halting and reversing biodiversity loss toward restoring Earth system stability
DESCRIPTION:Discover how a “Nature Positive” approach can halt and reverse the global decline in biodiversity by 2030—and help prevent the destabilization of Earth’s systems that support human well-being. \n\n\nJoin the authors of a Frontiers in Science lead article — Harvey Locke from Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative and IUCN\, Professor Johan Rockström from Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Stockholm Resilience Centre\, Professor Raina Plowright from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine\, and Robyn Seetal\, CPA\, CA from IkTaar Advisory — as well as expert panel members Dr. Eliane Ubalijoro from CIFOR-ICRAF and Marco Lambertini from Nature Positive Initiative\, to explore practical pathways\, including the Three Conditions Framework and the role of Indigenous knowledge\, finance\, and governance in driving real change.\n\n\nRegister for our deep dive webinar to find out more: https://fro.ntiers.in/b3iopTtbP1b\n(Note: To get the recording link\, you must register. The recording will be available after it airs in the central European summer time zone).

SUMMARY:ROAM: Reconnecting Wildlife and Our World | Bozeman\, MT
DESCRIPTION:Restoring wildlife\, reconnecting nature\, inspiring hope. \nJoin award-winning science journalist Hillary Rosner at the Country Bookshelf in Bozeman at 7:00 pm on May 28 for a lively conversation about her book ROAM\, the inspiring story of reconnecting ecosystems\, restoring wildlife corridors\, and reimagining a future where humans and animals can thrive together. \nRosner will explore some of the stories she tells in the book in a conversation with Mountain Journal Managing Editor Joseph O’Connor\, followed by an audience Q&A featuring a panel of local conservation experts. The discussion will touch on how the movement to reconnect critical landscapes is playing out in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. \nThe event is co-hosted by the Center for Large Landscape Conservation and the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative. \nRSVP for this free event \n\nHillary Rosner has reported on environmental issues from around the world for outlets such as National Geographic\, NYT\, The Atlantic\, Scientific American\, Audubon and many others. She specializes in telling complex science stories in ways that resonate deeply with general audiences. \nMore on ROAM \nDrawing on more than 200 interviews\, ROAM: Wild Animals and the Race to Repair Our Fractured World delves into one of the most pressing environmental crises of our time: the fragmentation of ecosystems and the urgent need to reconnect them. Discover the scientists\, farmers\, and community volunteers working to restore wildlife corridors\, rewild landscapes\, and reimagine infrastructure so that people and wildlife alike can flourish. \nFrom highway overpasses to community-led projects that blend traditional knowledge with ecological science\, ROAM reveals what it will take to stitch our natural world back together. Rosner shows how fences\, farms\, and sprawl have severed essential connections—and how repairing them may also help mend our own fractured relationships with each other and the planet. You’ll hear about the inspiring individuals driving change and leave with a fresh perspective on the delicate balance between humans and the creatures we share the world with. \n\nThe Center for Large Landscape Conservation advances ecological connectivity for climate resilience worldwide through science\, policy\, practice\, and collaboration. \nThe Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative connects crucial wildlife corridors and habitats across the U.S.- Canada border.

SUMMARY:Interpretive hike: Grassy mountain and the threat of coal
DESCRIPTION:Join Nicole Olivier\, Y2Y’s landscape protection manager\, as well as Alberta Wilderness Association (AWA) conservation specialists for a steep but rewarding hike in the vicinity of the proposed Grassy Mountain coal mine. From our vantage we will be able to see Grassy Mountain\, as well as a significant portion of the Oldman watershed that will be impacted if the mine is approved. If you want to be able to speak out against this project\, but aren’t quite sure how\, then this is the adventure for you! \nNicole and AWA’s conservation specialists will provide context and discuss the impacts of this particular mine\, as well as the cumulative effects of other land uses including logging on this already stressed watershed. Bring your questions and a pair of strong legs for a day of spectacular views and engaging\, informative conversations. For an overview of the lengthy fight against this mine\, you can find a timeline on the AWA’s website. \n  \nRSVP by donation on AWA’s website \n  \nDetails:\nDate: June 27\, 2027 \nTime: 10:00 am \nCost: By donation \nLocation: Near Franks\, AB (meeting details will be emailed to participants a few days before the event) \nDifficulty: Very strenuous (600m elevation gain over 4 km)
