at Keystone Wildlife Coalition we believe in conservation through coexistence
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in the beautiful Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, where we advocate for keystone species in their native habitats.
Our mission extends beyond traditional conservation approaches. We recognize that the future of wildlife depends not on separation or prevention, but on fostering harmonious relationships between human communities and the wildlife that are essential to healthy ecosystems.
From the wolves that maintain elk populations to the beavers that create and maintain wetland habitats, these remarkable animals serve as the architects of biodiversity.
In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem we work directly with local communities, landowners, and wildlife to develop sustainable solutions that benefit both people and animals. Our approach combines scientific research, community education, and hands-on conservation work to ensure that keystone species continue to thrive in their ancestral homes.
Through habitat supervision, professional animal transportations, public advocacy, and comprehensive education programs, we’re building a future where wildlife and human communities flourish together. Because when keystone species succeed, entire ecosystems, and the communities within them, succeed as well.
Join us in creating a world where conservation and coexistence go hand in hand.
