The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative

The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) is a large-scale effort aimed at protecting and connecting wildlife habitats in North America, specifically from Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. to Yukon in Canada. This initiative addresses the challenges faced by wildlife due to habitat loss and climate change by promoting conservation across a vast 2,000-mile corridor. It encourages sustainable land use, wildlife management, and the creation of protected areas to ensure animals can move freely between habitats. Y2Y brings together governments, organizations, and communities to foster collaboration for a healthier ecosystem and vibrant natural landscapes.
