Climate Adaptation: An update on climate change research.
Update from Y2Y 

In this edition of Y2Y Connections, we take you under the river to discover the diversity of gravel bed river ecosystems. We go behind-the-scenes to uncover the environmental impacts of mega-dams, and under and over busy highways to learn about innovative crossing structures that are keeping wildlife connected.

These stories and others below provide just a snapshot of the many Y2Y projects that you, our friends, partners and supporters, have made possible. 

Thank you for supporting us, and for being a catalyst for positive change!

Yours in conservation,

Wendy Francis, Interim President
