Map of whitebark pine distribution in Greater Yellowstone. After attacks by mountain beetles, blister rust, drought and wildfire, whitebark is barely hanging on, most notably in the high and cold reaches of the Absaroka-Beartooths in the northeast corner of the ecosystem and the Wind River Range in the southeast.
