Take your appreciation to new levels. If you ski, snowshoe or snowmobile across western Canada — especially the Selkirk, Purcell, Columbia, Monashee and Cariboo ranges of southeastern B.C. — you can help these animals thrive.
Researchers need you! Spot wolverine tracks or sign? Share what you see:

Today, March 10, is the inaugural World Wolverine Day! These medium-sized carnivores play an outsized role in their ecosystems, from keeping winter food webs functioning and serving as indicators of intact, connected wilderness, and more.

A $5.5-million state grant will fund two wildlife crossings along State Route 62 in California. The crossings will provide safe passage for wildlife, like threatened mountain lions, between the San Bernardino and Little San Bernardino mountains.

Our new report is out: The Governance of Ecological Connectivity in Canada examines wildlife corridor laws across the country. Stronger legislation and better collaboration between governments are needed to connect protected areas across Canada.

Food systems are on the edge in West Moberly First Nations' territory, but they have plan to change that.
Their geothermal-powered greenhouse could be Canada's first, drawing on hot water trapped inside an ancient seafloor to grow food for the northeast.
My latest for @thenarwhal.ca
In Washington, the Stillaguamish Tribe, Upper Skagit Tribe, Tulalip Tribe and Washington State Department of Transportation are working together to build a wildlife overpass on a stretch of State Route 20 that elk frequently try to cross.

We send our thanks to communities managing attractants and following Bear Smart standards despite provincial uncertainty in British Columbia. We look forward to the province reinstating this critical program with adequate staffing and resources so people and wildlife can thrive together.
From Banff's proven network of crossings to new projects along Highway 3 through the Rockies, wildlife bridges and fencing are connecting animals across the Yellowstone to Yukon region. Planet Wild's Mission 36 takes you inside this ambitious effort to save both animal and human lives

This work offers a modeling framework for predicting recreation intensity beyond parks and protected areas, helping to guide evidence-based decision making to ensure recreation can be compatible with conservation.
The researchers modeled seasonal motorized and non-motorized recreation using a wide range of data types—from trail counters and cameras to aerial surveys and online apps.
A new paper in Landscape Ecology takes an important step toward better understand where, when, and how people recreate — and how this affects people and wildlife we share space with.
Read the paper and share it with others who care about wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation.
Applications are open for our 2026 partner grants.
We support grassroots organizations protecting habitat across the Yellowstone to Yukon region. These projects complement Y2Y's work and mobilize efforts we can't do alone.

Trail users, developers, and community members all share the responsibility to keep this corridor strong. That means better planning for developments and trail networks, and critical mitigation along transportation routes: wildlife crossings and fencing to create safe passage.
It means the wildlife corridor connecting our landscape is still working. This shy, wide-ranging carnivore can live and move through the area because the connection still exists.
But it won't stay that way without action.
A black and white photo of a wolverine moving away from a wildlife camera at night on a snowy trail
The photo is blurry and small, but it is an important one.
This wolverine moving through a secret location in Alberta's Bow Valley. Wolverines are a rare sight, and spotting one near a town as busy as Canmore is almost unheard of.
But this recent photo proves something vital >>
Wildlife are inevitably impacted as fireguards are built. Animals steer clear as human and machine increase, but when work is finished they often return. More room is available for wildlife to move. @y2y.bsky.social www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

B.C. has roughly 17,000 glaciers. As they retreat at an alarming rate, outdoor guides are not only witnessing the changes, but managing the risks that come with this new reality. thenarwhal.ca/glacier-melt...
