Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y)I was the Conservation Scientist at the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) from 2017-22.
The Y2Y mission is "to connect and protect habitat from Yellowstone to Yukon so that people and nature can thrive". Y2Y collaborates with many researchers, practitioners, and communicators, and >450 partner groups across the 1.36 million sqkm Yellowstone to Yukon region. My research included biodiversity and ecosystem services, protected areas expansion, supporting Indigenous-led conservation, the ecology and conservation of species at risk (e.g., wolverine, mountain caribou), outdoor recreation, and the human dimensions of conservation. |
