• Introduced by Sen. Erik Poulsen (D) on January 17, 2007, to require the Department of Fish and Wildlife to participate in the cooperative programs of the Yukon and Yellowstone Conservation Initiative. Within the Rocky Mountains ecoregional area there are landowners, communities, wildlife management agencies, and wildlife conservation organizations beginning to work together in a coordinated manner to consider this region as a whole. These groups seek to combine science and stewardship to ensure that the world-renowned wilderness, wildlife, native plants, and natural processes of the region continue to function as an interconnected web of life, capable of supporting all of the natural and human communities that reside within it, for now and for future generations. This effort is commonly referred to as the Yukon to Yellowstone conservation initiative.
