Mission

Advocacy | Education | Coordination

Alaska Conservation Alliance works to protect Alaska 's air, land and water by empowering Alaskans to participate effectively in the civic arena.

Founded in 1997, the Alaska Conservation Alliance (ACA) 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. ACA 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.

Program areas:

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. ACA also works with other member organizations to persuade local elected officials to pursue positive, pro-conservation measures. Read more...

Education

ACA educates Alaskans by participating in ballot measure campaigns, statewide strategic issue campaigns, canvasses and get-out-the-vote drives. Other ACA voter education activities include voter ID, list enhancement, polling, media, newsletters and this web site. Read more...

Coordination

ACA keeps the Alaska conservation community coordinated. ACA 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. Read more...
