The draft 2015 revision of Alaska’s Wildlife Action Plan is now available for public and agency review:
- Draft Alaska Wildlife Action Plan 2015 (PDF 8,040 kB)
The purpose of this plan is to identify species of greatest conservation need in Alaska, describe their distribution and habitat use, identify key threats to these species, and finally, identify conservation actions that might be used to ensure healthy populations into the future. This revised action plan will guide conservation work by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game over the next 10 years, and hopefully, inform the conservation work of other agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and the public.
We would like your feedback on the plan. Have we identified the right species, the right threats, and the right conservation actions? Do the priorities identified reflect your thinking, or would you like to see changes? Is the plan clearly written and organized?
The preliminary plan draft is available in electronic format (PDF 8,040 kB) for public review and comment. There are no hard copies being printed.
Comments on the Preliminary Plan Draft will be accepted through Friday, September 4, 2015. Send them by email to: dfg.swapinput@alaska.gov. The Final State Wildlife Action Plan will be published and submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on September 30.
If you have questions, please contact either Matt Kirchhoff (matt.kirchhoff@alaska.gov) or Tim Viavant (tim.viavant@alaska.gov).
Thank You!
