The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) contains the headwaters of the Missouri, Snake and Green Rivers. Average annual discharge from the GYE into these rivers totals 16.2 million acre-feet (5,280,000,000,000 gallons). Furthermore, the rivers and lakes of the GYE are internationally famous for their recreational and scenic values. However, trends in aquatic species status and watershed condition in the GYE have not been quantified. The purpose of this study is to compile and analyze existing ecosystem-scale data on the condition of aquatic and riparian habitats and salmonid fishes.

Yellowstone Wildlife is a natural history of the wildlife species that call Yellowstone National Park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem their home. Illustrated with stunning images by renowned wildlife photographer Thomas Mangelsen, Yellowstone Wildlife describes the lives of species in the park, exploring their habitats from the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole. From charismatic megafauna like elk, bison, wolves, bighorn sheep, and grizzly bears, to smaller mammals like bats, pikas, beavers, and otters, to some of the 279 species of birds, Johnsgard describes the behavior of animals throughout the seasons, with sections on what summer and autumn mean to the wildlife of the park, especially with the intrusion of millions of tourists each year. Enhanced by Mangelsen’s wildlife photography, Yellowstone Wildlife reveals the beauty and complexity of these species’ intertwined lives and that of Yellowstone’s greater ecosystem.
