Reduction in snowfall and snowpack. Warmer water temperatures. Increased droughts. More forest fires.

What does this all mean for our future? Climate change is a real threat to the planet, and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is not immune to it.

In Episode 03, we sit down with paleoclimatologist Cathy Whitlock to discuss what climate change is doing to this special place. Dr. Whitlock is the co-lead author and scientist for the Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment, an “in-depth summary of past, historical, and projected future changes to temperature, precipitation, and water in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.” Released in June 2021, the Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment uses the best available science to explore climate change impacts to our region and provide a basis for informing adaptation and mitigation strategies moving forward.

Join us and learn about the first ecosystem-scale climate study of its kind!

Voices of Greater Yellowstone was created by the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, a conservation nonprofit dedicated to working with people to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, now and for future generations.

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is the land of 30+ Indigenous Tribes who maintain current and ancestral connections to the lands, waters, wildlife, plants, and more.

Grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem are an iconic species. After almost disappearing from the landscape, they’ve made a miraculous recovery over the past several decades and are once again a steady presence. However, there’s lots of work to be done to ensure bears and people thrive on the land together for generations to come. So, what’s the future for grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem?

In Episode 02, we sit down with the Greater Yellowstone Coalition's Senior Wildlife Conservation Associate Brooke Shifrin to hear about her work in the field and what she’s focused on now for grizzly bear conservation.  We’ll also get to answer some commonly asked questions about these bears!

You definitely don’t want to miss this bear-y informative and fun episode!

Montana's rivers are a lifeblood for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and its wildlife and people. They provide habitat for aquatic species, drinking and agricultural water, and countless jobs for Montana's $7.1 billion outdoor recreation industry and beyond. So, how do we ensure these crucial rivers are protected for generations to come?

In Episode 01, we sit down with the Greater Yellowstone Coalition's Charles Drimal and Ryan Cruz to hear about their work conserving the waterways in Montana's section of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. We'll focus on the Montana Headwaters Legacy Act, a made-in-Montana bill that protects more than 380 river miles from development and degradation.

Our rivers take care of us, now it's time we take care of them! Thanks for tuning in.
