Another talk by Jody Hilty, Yellowstone to Yukon President and Chief Scientist, reveals a rather disturbing picture of a false narrative of information. Ms. Hilty either has chosen to deliberately misrepresent the truth, or lives in some sort of fantasy world. In this Scaling Up Webinar, Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative, November 14, 2017, Ms. Hilty covers a variety of issues from both Canada and the U.S., skipping back and forth between the two countries. In the standard Y2Y mantra, she declares wildlife need "room to roam" which usually means at the expense of where people live and their use of land in all forms. What is so ironic when describing how a Wolf traversed between Canada and the U.S., there is ongoing claims that animals are unable to survive without connectivity, taking more land for protection so they can migrate. Isn't that what the Wolf was doing without the Y2Y connectivity agenda? And while the Wolf doesn't recognize the boundary between the two countries, she fails to understand that these two countries do have jurisdictional boundaries between them, which supercedes what any Wolf may understand. Blanket descriptions are given for historical ranges for Grizzlies, without any factual verification. However, this is deliberate as Y2Y intends to use Grizzlies as an umbrella species. Throughout the webinar, Ms. Hilty repeatedly states, "science says", not understanding that science is not a person, it can't think or speak. In her "collaborative" description, elected officials and local citizens are not included. At the 19:20 mark, the Crown of the Continent that engulfs ID/MT/Canada, a path for Grizzlies is created on conjecture that it must be protected based on potential genetic problems. Next is the Cabinet Purcell area with ID/MT/BC involved, and three Grizzly "corridors" for connectivity, and work with land trusts to take land with conservation easements by Vital Ground, stopping development. Central Idaho is also targeted for artificial placement of Grizzlies at the 22:50 mark, manipulating wildlife so we can "live" with them, not recognizing how dangerous, and unethical that is. A Y2Y workshop was held with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) in March, 2017, to convince them to include wildlife overpasses in their transportation projects, referencing Hwy 20. Interestingly, ITD never fessed up to this, instead letting IDFG take the heat for their partnership with Y2Y. While Ms. Hilty claims the community was "super engaged", the truth was the community was strongly opposed to these overpasses, and it was only a Y2Y created front group that was supporting that objective. Ms. Hilty claimed "huge threats of growth" and people "gobbling" up land instead of living in high rises at the 31:20 mark. And just where do you live Ms. Hilty, in a high rise or in your own house gobbling up land? She thinks protected areas are being "ringed with development". That is clearly not true. None the less, she calls these "gateway" cities and the plan is on for going in and telling these cities how they should live, holding Mountain and Resort Town Planner Summits. The National Park Service (NPS) was part of this webinar as a deep partner with Y2Y, having some questions for Ms. Hilty at the 40:45 and 44:20 marks. More talk about growth sprawl came at the 50:05 mark, and getting elected officials to buy in to landscape conservation at the 53:30 mark. Ms. Hilty supported giving officials a "safe" place to support conservation and cited Sen. Risch and his work with the Scotchman's Peak group, never mentioned it was the vast opposition to his wilderness bill that defeated his alliance with them. Listen to the webinar and learn more about all the work Y2Y is doing to spread their propaganda.
