Greater Yellowstone Coalition We're committed to working with all people to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Our vision is a healthy and intact Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem where critical lands and waters are adequately protected, wildlife is managed in a thoughtful, sustainable manner and a strong, diverse base of support is working to conserve this special place as part of a larger, connected Northern Rocky Mountain Region. The Greater Yellowstone Coalition was founded in 1983 on a simple premise: an ecosystem will remain healthy and wild only if it is kept whole. For decades, we have been innovators in defining and promoting the concept of ecosystem management. Our offices, strategically placed in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, allow us to engage in a wide variety of efforts locally, regionally, and nationally to ensure Greater Yellowstone's lands, waters, wildlife are protected now and well into the future. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is a remarkable natural landscape. It is home to a complete array of native wildlife, the headwaters of the west, an important place in the history of conservation, and of deep importance to the First Nations who made this place home since time immemorial.

In just 45 days, GYC advocates sent 31,561 public comments from all 50 states urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture to keep the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. This overwhelming response to keep our backcountry public lands intact shows just how important roadless areas are to people across the country.

Thank you to everyone who wrote a comment and made your voice heard.

GYC hosted 19 comment writing parties across Greater Yellowstone, resulting in more than 500 handwritten postcards mailed to the USDA.

In all, at least 1.6 million comments were submitted.

The USDA will review these comments and work toward a final decision. It's unclear when we will see a final decision—our team will keep an eye out and share the news and next steps when it breaks.
