Details

The concept of “Nature Positive” refers to a global goal to halt and reverse nature loss. The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative is interested in exploring stories of nature positive initiatives from across the Y2Y region and beyond. Stories should demonstrate an awareness of the role of businesses, organizations, or communities in a broader landscape, and an appreciation for interconnectedness. The goal is to be able to celebrate examples of nature positive initiatives and learn from each about how to undertake this work successfully.

Deliverables
  1. Expanded case study analysis and story gathering (interviews) - This includes provision of interview transcripts, draft of case study addendum for 2023 report (including interview results and quotes/stories).
  2. Report addendum finalization - Creation of final case study addendum for 2023 report, including an additional 3-6 case studies/stories and identification of best/promising practices for nature positive initiatives.

Y2Y started as a loose collection of organizations, collaborating to protect habitat along the spine of the Rocky Mountains. From our humble roots, we’ve built a movement that unifies voices and people who support large-scale land conservation. Y2Y’s work addresses needs for wildlife and people, giving animals freedom to roam, and protecting habitat for grizzly bears, caribou, wolverines, wolves, and more. To protect a region this vast, we need an equally vast, diverse, and dynamic movement. We are the only organization dedicated to securing the long-term ecological health of this entire region.
