Last year, AWA got curious about Cook Inlet fish stock trends and research gaps, recognizing that this information could be key to understanding beluga prey availability. Check out the resulting research and report here!
On October 14th, Superior Court Judge Christina Rankin affirmed her finding that the Alaska Department of Fish and Game acted in bad faith when they shot 11 bears from the air this spring.
On June 6, the State released a public notice that the Board of Game has proposed to adopt regulation changes to the 2011 Mulchatna wolf predator control program that would allow ADFG to also aerially gun black and brown bears.
On the evening of May 7, Judge Rankin issued her order on the legal action that AWA filed against the State for adopting a so-called emergency regulation to reopen Mulchatna bear control for May 2025.
We are very excited to announce registration our first Alaskan Wildlife Expedition! In partnership with Chulengo Expeditions, we are offering wildlife lovers an opportunity to backpack with us in the heart of Alaska’s spectacular Brooks Range.
The world of sounds and soundscapes are explored in this free virtual workshop. Presenters cover the breadth of sounds in nature as a discipline, from the appreciation and ecological significance of sounds, to how they are measured and managed, and finally to how human-generated noise can disturb Alaskan wildlife.
Climate envelope models suggest in the near term caribou will likely decrease due to afforestation of alpine tundra; moose will likely increase due to continued colonization of Prince William Sound, afforestation of the Kenai Lowlands and alpine tundra, and increasing fires on the western peninsula; and Sitka deer will likely increase due to colonization of the eastern peninsula.
Free virtual presentation as we host Dr. Deborah Boege Tobin, UAA-KPC Professor of Biology and Coordinator for the Kachemak Bay Campus’ Semester by the Bay program in Homer, for her presentation "Is it a Whale? Is it a Seal? No! It's a Harbor Porpoise!" Dr. Tobin will teach us about harbor porpoises, focusing on those in Cook Inlet.
