Please donate $$ to Y2Y,

I think this is the best conservation-type charity going.

 

They want to preserve a continuous strip of wilderness between Yellowstone (Y) and the Yukon (Y). The idea is that many high-on-the-food-chain species like mtn lions, grizzs, and wolves need VAST roaming areas and genetically diverse subpopulations to breed with in order to maintain the species. I think it makes sense.

 

The money will go to buying land that interconnects the disparate island ecosystems of protected land inbetween the Y and Y to make one big preserve.

 

It's where I'll be donating my charity money for the next few years; I encourage you to join me. This is the last remaining strip of bits of wilderness in North America.

Very cool.

 

It looks like the wilderness corridor would stretch all the way south to the Wind River Range.
