- Population: 400 Location: Atlin is located in the extreme northwest corner of British Columbia, about 112 miles (180 km) southeast of Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Access to Atlin is by floatplane on Atlin Lake, or by road from the Yukon to the north.

- The second map is Y2Y’s map of the transboundary Crown of the Continent ecosystem. You will see that much on the US side is protected in the Glacier Park-Bob Marshall wilderness complex. On the Canadian side, only the small Waterton Lakes National Park is protected. A significant ENGO-led campaign is working to extend Waterton Park westward to the Flathead River valley, so that the west boundary of protected land in Canada matches the west boundary of the protected complex in the U.S.
