Grand Teton National Park anchors the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, where native flora and fauna interact much as they have for thousands of years in one of the largest intact temperate ecological systems on Earth. Grand Teton is a place where stunning landscapes, fabled wildlife, mindful stewardship, and the latest science come together to create an immersive visitor experience that forges connections with far-reaching resonance. Park visitors and supporters become curators, keepers, and custodians of a cherished legacy.
Yet a variety of pressures in and around the park mean that the once self-sustaining, self-regulating landscape needs vigilance, active participation, and assistance from those who value all that it represents. Changing visitation, land use and development patterns, climate change, and invasive plants and animals all threaten to disrupt the sensitive ecological relationships that characterize Grand Teton today. These pressures hold potential for diminishing the park’s biological, scientific, and visitor experience appeal.
In response, the park and Grand Teton National Park Foundation have come together with a plan to support active, scientifically based, stewardship of wildlife and their habitats. Wild Treasures will support the park’s highest priority research, conservation, and education program needs. By investing in sustained action, this campaign will foster ambitious work of lasting impact, helping to ensure the vibrancy and relevance of Grand Teton’s wildlife as a central feature of the park experience for generations to come.
Protecting moments that matter—a first bear sighting, a chorus of wolves howling in the wind, or the spectacle of a hundred elk migrating along an ancient path in the morning mist—requires a solid, multifaceted program to conserve and protect park wildlife in the midst of contemporary pressures and challenges.
Wild Treasures will allow the park to be more strategic than ever before in prioritizing wildlife and natural resource research, conservation, and education efforts. Longer-term certainty of funds has already enabled the development of new partnerships with universities and agencies that will increase capacity, provide additional expertise, and leverage support from Wild Treasures.
