From this view it looks like the advance of urban Bozeman stops on a hard line but it's misleading. Were one to turn 180 degrees in the other direction, the view would reveal islands of rural subdivisions in Gallatin County that already have displaced wildlife. The impacts will really take hold as infill occurs and migration corridors for species like elk are lost. This same scenario exists in valleys throughout Greater Yellowstone.  Photo by Todd Wilkinson
