Y2Y

Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative

The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) is a vision for a network of core protected areas combined with an interconnected series of wildlife corridors running 3,200km up the Rocky Mountains from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to the northern Yukon. 

This coalition of over 200 science-based conservation organizations, including CPAWS Calgary/Banff and Yukon, and individuals seeks to ensure the long-term survival of wide-ranging species such as grizzly bear, wolf, caribou, and wolverine, and to keep the heart in our wilderness.

The Y2Y approach promotes community stewardship of the mountain habitat, so that residents will view wildland conservation as an integral part of their quality of life.
