The mountain chains stretching from Yellowstone in Wyoming to Canada’s Yukon form an interconnected web of life. Throughout this corridor, grizzly bears and wolves and lots of other amazing wildlife still roam freely. CPAWS is campaigning to protect important links in the chain, including these sites:
In 1993, CPAWS, working with other groups, helped found the Y2Y Conservation Initiative — an international network of groups and individuals working together to maintain and restore the unique natural heritage of the Yellowstone to Yukon region and the quality of life it affords to residents and visitors.
The Y2Y Conservation Initiative is a network of over 160 Canadian and U.S. organizations, institutions and foundations, including CPAWS, that promotes cooperation and collaboration among a wide range of people who value the region's natural heritage. The Y2Y Conservation Initiative uses the best available science to define and design a network of essential wildlife habitat areas and connecting linkage corridors.
Parks Canada has consulted Canadians on this new park in the headwaters of the South Nahanni watershed, adjacent to the recently expanded Nahanni National Park Reserve. Although the official comment period has ended, your input to Parks Canada is still important.
