After 30 Years, a Wildlife Corridor From Yellowstone to the Yukon Now Saves 96% of Animals on Banff's Highway
The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative began in 1993 and now spans a corridor from Yellowstone to the Yukon. Roughly 25 million hectares have been protected, and more than 200 wildlife crossings have been built, including overpasses along Banff's Highway 1 that cut vehicle collisions with wildlife by 96% on stretches where they were installed. In 2025 the initiative was named a finalist for the Earthshot Prize.
