Alaska is a national and international treasure, with towering mountain peaks and glaciers, old growth forests, pristine tundra, rivers, wetlands, and barrier islands.  Nowhere else under our flag is there as diverse and abundant fish and wildlife, vast herds of free roaming caribou, unparalleled wild salmon runs and millions of birds that nest in Alaska before traveling to every state and six of seven continents. 225 million acres of federal lands in Alaska – including National Parks, National Forests and National Wildlife Refuges – are owned by all Americans, each with a stake in responsible stewardship.

Alaska Wilderness League stands with, serves, and supports the many people and organizations that believe in a sustainable future for Alaska. We honor and respect the cultures of Alaska Natives whose way of life remains deeply connected to the state’s land, waters, and wildlife.  We believe that Alaska’s long-term economic future and subsistence traditions are inexorably tied to the health and sound stewardship of its natural resources, which support hunting, fishing, tourism, and unrivaled outdoor experiences that are central to Alaskans’ quality of life.
