In North America, wild animals travel far more than most people realize.
Some migrate between seasonal habitats. Others roam large territories to hunt, find mates, or access food and water. For many species, movement is essential to survival.
But over time, roads, cities, fences, and human development have increasingly divided natural habitats into smaller isolated spaces.
This is known as habitat fragmentation, and it can create serious challenges for wildlife. Animals struggle to safely migrate, populations become isolated from one another, and natural ecosystems become more difficult to maintain over time.
That is why projects like the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) exist.
Stretching more than 3,200 kilometers from Yellowstone National Park in the United States to the Yukon in northern Canada, Y2Y is one of the largest conservation initiatives in the world.
Through Fondazione Capellino, all profits from Almo Nature help support biodiversity and conservation projects, including initiatives like Y2Y.
Starting in 2025, Fondazione Capellino committed 720,000 $CAN to help support and continue these conservation efforts across the Yellowstone to Yukon region. And this project is already making a real impact.
The Yellowstone to Yukon region now includes at least 204 wildlife crossings designed to help reconnect habitats and reduce wildlife vehicle collisions. In Alberta, one wildlife overpass has already helped reduce collisions by 50% compared to previous years.
So when you choose Almo Nature for your cats and dogs, you are helping support real conservation efforts that contribute to protecting wild animals and the natural habitats they depend on to survive.
Animals like…
Grizzly bears require extremely large territories to roam, forage, and reproduce. When habitats become fragmented, populations can become more isolated, making connected wild spaces increasingly important for their long term survival.
Gray wolves are highly mobile animals that can travel across vast distances. They also play an important role in maintaining balanced ecosystems, making habitat connectivity especially important for healthy wolf populations.
Canada lynx depend heavily on large forested areas. Fragmented habitats can make it more difficult for them to safely move, hunt, and maintain stable populations across their range.
Wolverines are among the rarest mammals in North America and require large remote wilderness areas with minimal human disturbance. Habitat connectivity is especially important for species like these that naturally roam across wide territories.
Elk populations rely on long migration routes between seasonal habitats. Protecting connected landscapes helps preserve these migration patterns that have existed for generations.
Moose thrive in healthy forests and wetlands. Preserving large connected ecosystems helps maintain the habitats they depend on for food, shelter, and survival.
Cougars require extensive territories to roam and hunt safely. Wildlife corridors help reduce habitat isolation and allow populations to remain more connected.
Caribou are particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and environmental pressures. Many populations rely on large undisturbed habitats to migrate and survive.
And these are only a few examples.
Many other species also depend on connected ecosystems, from birds and smaller mammals to plants, rivers, forests, and entire natural environments that rely on biodiversity to remain healthy and balanced.
This is why this project is so important. It helps protect and reconnect wild spaces so wildlife can continue to move, migrate, and survive naturally in the wild.
Now you know where your money goes when you choose Almo Nature for your cats and dogs. You become part of that effort too.
Every bowl helps ensure these species continue to exist for generations to come.
