We're celebrating 20 years of conservation success in Alaska! Look back at the last two decades at our conservation milestones and read stories from members like you.

Taking Flight, for the Birds: Restoring the Aleutians

How many puffins and auklets once whirled in the skies over Rat Island? Scientists and archeologists piece together the past – and consider a rat-free future in the Aleutians – in this slideshow and story featuring the Conservancy's work in the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge in the Bering Sea.

Can People and Wildlife Adapt to a Changing Climate?

In northern climates, like Alaska and Canada, Conservancy staff and scientists are working with local residents to plan for a resilient Arctic. 

River Restoration Benefits Fish & People

Harris River, on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska, now has a half-mile of restored fish habitat where wild salmon can once more move freely. The Conservancy's restoration project also stabilized more than 2.5 miles of old roadbed from erosion. Restoration work will continue in 2009 with additional improvements to fish habitat.

"How Can People & Wildlife Adapt to a Changing Climate" is part of Anchorage Wildlife Lecture Series

An Anchorage lecture series called Wildlife Wednesdays features Peter Larsen, who directs the Conservancy's climate change program, at 7 p.m. on March 11. He'll speak about science-based solutions that benefit people and nature. Presentations are FREE to the public and held monthly at 7pm at the Z.J. Loussac Library in Anchorage. See the entire Wildlife Wednesdays series calendar here!

In the News

A story on Ketchikan radio (KRBD) featured a recent Tongass Futures Roundtable meeting where participants reviewed, for the first time, a proposal for managing the Tongass National Forest. Catch the story here.
