YERC's Mission
The Yellowstone Ecological Research Center (YERC) specializes in long-term, large-scale, collaborative ecological study, research, and education. YERC brings together academic institutions, private companies, and governmental agencies from around the country to work in the group’s major research focus area: the 20 million acre, Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). YERC is an independent, private, non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the role of science at the natural resources decision-making table. YERC seeks to serve as a source of credible, impartial information for the diverse stakeholders of the GYE, thereby positively impacting conservation programs from a scientific rather than advocacy approach.
