Does Y2Y want the entire Yellowstone to Yukon region to become a protected area or park?
No. Y2Y’s vision is that the entire Yellowstone to Yukon region will be managed so that this world-renowned mountain ecosystem and its inhabitants (both wild and human) remain healthy and connected for centuries to come. This does not require the entire region to become a park, only that wild animals are able to travel safely through the lands adjacent to and between parks. Y2Y also wants to ensure that human communities can continue to live sustainably off the land to ensure that future generations can also enjoy this spectacular region.
