The situation

What’s happening to Gallatin Range

The wildest unprotected mountain range in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a critical corridor for grizzlies, wolves, and elk moving between Yellowstone and the northern ranges. Wilderness proposals have stalled for decades while Bozeman’s boom creeps closer to the ridgeline. Every year the window narrows.
