Wild animals in North America travel much further than most people realise.
Some move between seasonal habitats. Others roam across huge areas to find food, water or mates. For many species, being able to move freely is essential for survival.
But over time, roads, towns, cities, fences and other human development have broken up many natural landscapes into smaller, isolated areas.
This is called habitat fragmentation, and it creates serious problems for wildlife. Animals find it harder to move safely, populations become separated, and healthy ecosystems become more difficult to maintain.
That is why projects like the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) exist.
Stretching for more than 3,200 kilometres from Yellowstone National Park in the United States to the Yukon in northern Canada, Y2Y is one of the world's largest conservation initiatives.
Through Fondazione Capellino, every Almo Nature purchase helps support biodiversity and conservation projects, including Y2Y.
In 2025, Fondazione Capellino committed CAD $720,000 to help protect and reconnect wildlife habitats across the Yellowstone to Yukon region. And this work is already making a real difference.
Today, there are at least 204 wildlife crossings across the region. These bridges and underpasses help animals cross roads safely, reconnect natural areas and reduce collisions with vehicles. In Alberta, one wildlife overpass has already reduced wildlife vehicle collisions by 50%.
So, every time you choose Almo Nature for your cats and dogs, you are helping support real conservation projects that protect wild animals and the places they call home.
Animals like…
Grizzly bears need huge areas to roam, find food and raise their young. When wild spaces become divided, groups of bears can become isolated, making connected landscapes vital for their long term future.
Grey wolves can travel hundreds of kilometres and play an important role in keeping ecosystems healthy and balanced. They need connected landscapes to move freely and maintain healthy populations.
Canada lynx depend on large forests. When these forests become divided, it becomes harder for them to move safely, hunt and find mates.
Wolverines are among North America's rarest mammals. They need large, remote wild areas with very little human disturbance, making connected landscapes especially important.
Elk rely on long migration routes between their seasonal homes. Protecting connected landscapes helps preserve these natural journeys that have existed for generations.
Moose depend on healthy forests and wetlands. Large, connected natural areas provide the food, shelter and space they need to thrive.
Cougars need large territories to hunt and live safely. Wildlife corridors help them move between habitats and keep populations connected.
Caribou are especially vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many herds depend on vast, undisturbed landscapes to migrate and survive.
And these are just a few examples.
Many other species also depend on connected landscapes, from birds and smaller mammals to plants, rivers, forests and the many natural systems that support life.
That is why this work matters. It helps reconnect nature so wildlife can continue to move, migrate and thrive.
When you choose Almo Nature for your cats and dogs, you become part of that work.
Every bowl helps protect wildlife today and for generations to come.
