Florian Schulz is one of the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative’s most passionate ambassadors. His stunning photos capture the very essence of this magnificent region and skillfully illustrate the unique natural heritage that Y2Y is working to maintain and restore. Florian’s remarkable book, Yellowstone to Yukon - Freedom to Roam, demonstrates to its readers why this area is so special, speaks to their hearts and moves them to become involved. He makes my job of conveying the magic, the issues and opportunities of the Y2Y region much easier. I use his book constantly

"Of tireless stamina and creativity, Florian Schulz is
a young photographer that will certainly rise like a
shooting star. His passion and concern for the subjects he photographs come through in every image. "Yellowstone to Yukon Freedom to Roam" represents a unique vision
for a threatened region and Schulz' images bring home
the beauty and urgency of this critically important
North American corridor. His photographic talent and
his high ethical photographic standards, combined with
a sincere conservation purpose have earned him a
position in the prestigious International League of
Conservation Photographers. This new organization is
the home base of the best photographers in the world
and Schulz is the youngest member ever admitted to the
League." |

...he spoke in my Environmental Biology class to approximately 170 undergraduate students from a broad range of disciplines outside the sciences (philosophy, English, history, economics, etc.) and we were captivated. His talk was a vivid case study of species conservation in a stunning ecoregion that is rife with human conflicts over natural resource use and environmental concerns. Florian’s presentation "Yellowstone to Yukon Freedom to Roam" brought to life the topics we were discussing... He made an impression on these students that I think will last a lifetime. Florian has a gift for communication. He combines the type of knowledge one can get only from living in a region... with a passion for wildlife conservation and breathtaking photography. He is a fantastic spokesman for life – human and wild – in the region. |

With his rich blend of word and image, Florian Schulz is a story-teller. His story is his dream: the one species who can read Yellowstone to Yukon may come to share his passion that the "freedom to roam" must apply to all those other species who inhabit this vanishing corridor of wilderness. |

"Florian's presentation on Y2Y brilliantly illustrates the connectedness across boundaries of nations for cooperative solutions to meta-nature-versus-man challenges. The Yukon being a specifically large and gorgeous place to begin. Deeply desiring to be in these places and to work to leave them in this condition for 7 generations forward, Florian strikes not a single heartchord but a symphony of color, shadow, and hope in those fortunate enough to be in his sphere of inspiration. I am eager to wander yet again in his book Yellowstone to Yukon Freedom to Roam."
