Yes, the Crown of the Continent ecosystem is within the Yellowstone to Yukon region.

However, do you mean one of these programs that also supports students/learners?

This is more than conservation. It's about reconciliation, Indigenous self-determination, and advancing Canada's commitment to 30x30

It's exciting to see the Yellowstone to Yukon region's northern anchor moving closer to permanent protection through this collaborative, Indigenous-led approach!

At stake? 3,000 km2 of intact boreal forest, critical wildlife habitat for grizzly bears and caribou, and lands of immense cultural significance to Indigenous communities who have stewarded this area since time immemorial.

This Indigenous-led initiative showcases deep collaboration, with the Gwich'in Tribal Council, First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, Parks Canada, and government partners working together to protect one of Canada's premiere intact landscapes.

Don’t repeal the Roadless Rule. Keep these lands protected.

Grizzly bears and other recovering species need connected landscapes to survive. Roadless areas provide critical wildlife corridors.
