Although only a small proportion of the Y2Y region consists of private lands, they often occur in valuable valley-bottom habitats between core reserves.
Using tools like conservation easements, we work with partner land trusts to compensate willing ranchers and other landowners to forgo further development in these areas so wildlife can use and move across their land. Click here to learn more.
Y2Y is a major Canadian-U.S. collaborative of over 450 conservation organizations, researchers, agencies, individuals, and other groups working to connect and protect habitat from Yellowstone to Yukon so people and nature can thrive.
