Conservation in Alaska

We work to protect Alaska lands needed by birds and people.

Home to some of the most important conservation areas in the world, Alaska hosts some of the last remaining fully functioning large ecosystems on Earth.

探花精选 Alaska integrates diverse ways of knowing and synthesizes knowledge to identify priority geographies and advance novel conservation solutions.

We also advance educational and community engagement efforts to support healthy lands and waters for people and birds. These collaborations include the development and support for nature-based tourism initiatives like birding trails.
