The Center for Large Landscape Conservation was established to advance the mission of large landscape conservation in the Yellowstone-to-Yukon (Y2Y) region, in western North America, and internationally, by acting as an interorganizational, scientific and collaborative catalyst. The Center is fiscally sponsored by the Wild Foundation.
Given the enormous breadth and complexity of threats facing biodiversity today, it would be impossible for any single group to adequately address large-scale conservation challenges. Thus, our goals are to be a bridge-building entity connecting conservation groups that work across public and private lands, and in both science and management; to facilitate communication among these groups and thereby reduce duplication and enhance capacity; and to work with local, state, and federal decision-makers to develop and implement policies capable of addressing large-scale ecological issues such as climate change and increasing habitat fragmentation. It is our great hope that the Y2Y region will be a place where new approaches to these challenges are devised and implemented, so that around the world, people with passion to conserve biodiversity will be able to build upon our efforts and adapt them to the needs of their own regions.
