About YELLOWSTONE TO YUKON CONSERVATION INITIATIVE FOUNDATION
The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) is a joint Canada-US not-for-profit organization. We are recognized as one of the planet's leading mountain conservation initiatives.
Our Vision is an interconnected system of wild lands and waters stretching from Yellowstone to Yukon, harmonizing the needs of people with those of nature. Y2Y is the only organization dedicated to securing the long-term ecological health of the Yellowstone to Yukon region and we consider the land and waters at a scale that matters to nature. We take a scientific approach to conservation, and highlight and focus on local issues that affect the region, while our unifying vision and collaborative approach helps to ensure that individual conservation efforts are aligned in support of large-scale objectives.
Over the past two decades we have worked tirelessly with more than 300 partners, including scientists, conservation groups, landowners, businesses, government agencies and First Nations communities, and with many community groups and individual citizens, to stitch together this landscape. In that time, the amount of protected lands (and those with other conservation designations) in the region has almost tripled from 15% to 45%.
