Alaska Conservation Foundation is committed to remaining accessible to all our partners and supporters. Learn how we’re responding to COVID-19.
Alaska’s congressional delegation is pushing to open protected areas of the Tongass National Forest, the largest temperate rainforest on the planet, to harmful logging.
After decades of protection, the federal administration is moving with breakneck speed to industrialize the Arctic Refuge by leasing the coastal plain for oil and gas drilling.
The headwaters region of Bristol Bay, Alaska – the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery – is the proposed site of a gigantic open pit mine.
We’ll put your donation to work, where it’s needed most.
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is America’s largest and most wild natural environment. Although remote and seemingly protected, this sensitive ecosystem has recently come under threat of oil and gas drilling. Learn more so you can join us in protecting this magnificent place.
62% of Alaskans believe that this is the wrong mine in the wrong place. Scientists in the field have said that this mine “would erode the portfolio of habitat diversity and associated life history diversity that stabilize annual salmon returns to the Bristol Bay region.” We must listen to the people that rely and live upon this pristine landscape and step up to ensure Bristol Bay remains a biologically and culturally thriving place for generations to come. We're not done yet.
