Y2Y e-newsletter - March 2016

Dear Friend of Y2Y, 

I'm pleased to share our March e-newsletter with you, which highlights some of Y2Y's on-the-ground conservation efforts.

In Wildways: Corridors of Life, a documentary film to be released this April, Y2Y is featured prominently as global example of conservation. Click here to watch the trailer and stay tuned for news about future screenings in locations throughout North America.

We share Y2Y's progress in connecting habitat to protect grizzly bears throughout the region, as debates continue regarding the delisting of Yellowstone's grizzlies, as well as updates from the front lines: stopping the Site C dam in B.C.'s Peace Valley, protecting Alberta's Bighorn Wildland and ensuring safe highway crossings for wildlife near Jackson, Wyoming.

Thanks for staying engaged and making these critical efforts possible.

Warmest regards,


Jodi Hilty, PhD
President and Chief Scientist
