Alaska Conservation Alliance works to protect Alaska 's air, land and
water by being a powerful voice for the conservation community in the civic
arena.
Founded in 1997, the Alaska Conservation Alliance is a
statewide non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose primary mission is to
protect Alaska's natural environment through voter education,
engagement, and advocacy. The Alliance is the only statewide coalition group
uniting Alaska's conservation community and coordinating statewide
grassroots into a powerful, cohesive force to impact public policy. We
also educate policy makers and the public about environmental issues
facing Alaska.
Advocacy
The Alaska Conservation Alliance houses Alaska's only environmental
lobby. Our Legislative staff in Juneau works to influence state policy
and hold Legislators and the Administration accountable for their
actions. The Alliance also works with other member organizations to persuade
local elected officials to pursue positive, pro-conservation measures. For more information on our advocacy efforts, visit our Advocacy page.
Education
The Alliance educates Alaskans by participating in ballot measure campaigns,
statewide strategic issue campaigns, canvasses and get-out-the-vote
drives. Other Alliance voter education activities include voter ID, list
enhancement, polling, media, newsletters and this web site. For more information on our educational campaigns, visit 'Educating Alaskans'.
Coordination
The Alliance keeps the Alaska conservation community coordinated. Alaska Conservation Alliance convenes the conservation community for strategic planning meetings in
May and November each year. Ad hoc meetings occur for emerging issues,
to revise strategies, share information, and strengthen working
relationships. Learn how we shape Alaska's conservation community into one powerful force for conservation by clicking here.
