Although parks and protected areas are essential for biodiversity, alone they cannot conserve healthy populations of animals that need huge areas to roam. Achieving large landscape conservation requires connecting core habitat areas, creating corridors that let wildlife move freely and thrive. Join Y2Y’s Conservation Scientist Aerin Jacob on a trip across the Yellowstone to Yukon region, exploring how grassroots efforts from scientists and communities can scale up to connect and protect this incredible mountain landscape. Included with museum admission or membership.
