Voices for Alaska’s Wildlife
Speaking Up for the Well-being of Alaska’s wildlife
Alaska’s wildlife doesn’t have a voice in the decision-making processes that directly affect them. We engage with the public to rally a collective voice for wildlife, bringing the interests of species to the management table. AWA can also be your voice for promoting an ethical, ecosystem approach to wildlife management, ensuring that wildlife populations are sustainably managed for future generations to enjoy. Together, it is our responsibility to be the voices for wildlife and influence favorable decisions.
Take a look at some of our recent Voices for Wildlife work:
Our Goals
Through the Voices for Wildlife program, we advocate for Alaska’s wildlife in public decision-making and promote ethical, science-based wildlife management. Some of our goals include:
Ensure sustainble regulations
We attend Board of Game and Board of Fish meetings each year to advocate for science-based ethical management of Alaska’s wildlife.
Keep people accountable for promises made to wildlife
We take legal action to protect Alaska’s wildlife, defend critical habitat, and ensure public agencies follow the law.
TelL Wildlife stories
We fund filmmaking and storytelling efforts to help tell the stories of Alaska’s wildlife and connect advocates more deeply to them.
Conduct Research and Produce publications
We believe in science-backed conservation, and members of our organization have co-authored articles on everything from invasive plant species to migratory birds to the genetics of spruce trees.
