GreaterYellowstonecoalition

The Greater Yellowstone Coalition (GYC) was founded in 1983 on a simple premise: An ecosystem will remain healthy and wild only if it is kept whole.

Since that time, we have emerged as a nationally known advocate for the idea that ecosystem level sustainability and science should guide the management of the region’s public and private lands.

Perhaps the best measure of our leadership and influence is our base of more than 18,000 supporters worldwide. These constituents have come together to fulfill our mission of protecting the lands, waters and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, now and for future generations.

This vast ecosystem includes twenty million acres of wild country that includes Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, parts of six national forests, three national wildlife refuges, and state and private lands in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. The area is one of the largest, nearly intact temperate ecosystems left on Earth
