Progress to Date (Under Construction)

The Y2Y vision is for an interconnected system of wild lands and waters to harmonize the needs of people with the needs of nature. It's a powerful and hopeful vision that spans a 2,200-miles long chain of spectacular mountains still filled with wildlife.

As audacious as it sounds, it has mobilized a diverse and motivated group of people and organizations who collectively are making great progress. For example, only 10% of the region was protected when the vision was first uttered in 1993. Twenty years later, 20% is protected. Several more areas are under interim and lesser states of protection, many of which function as connections or corridors for wildlife.
