Y2Y started as a loose collection of organizations, collaborating to protect habitat along the spine of the Rocky Mountains. From our humble roots, we’ve built a movement that unifies voices and people who support large-scale land conservation. Y2Y’s work addresses needs for wildlife and people, giving animals freedom to roam, and protecting habitat for grizzly bears, caribou, wolverines, wolves, and more. To protect a region this vast, we need an equally vast, diverse, and dynamic movement. We are the only organization dedicated to securing the long-term ecological health of this entire region.
We work to connect and protect habitat from Yellowstone to Yukon so that people and nature can thrive.
Spanning 3,400 km (2,100 miles) from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in the south to the Yukon Territory in the north, we strive to connect and protect enough space for a wide range of species — including grizzly bears, elk, wolves, caribou, wolverines and more — to roam, feed, and reproduce.
Our vision is an interconnected system of wild lands and waters stretching along the spine of the Rocky Mountains, harmonizing the needs of people with those of nature.
And keeping it wild takes all of us.
Your support powers a movement to protect key habitats and wildlife corridors, reverse the loss of biodiversity, and act as an antidote to a changing climate.
