Founded in 1997, the Alaska Conservation Alliance is a statewide coalition of over 40 conservation groups & businesses representing over 38,000 individual members.

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

We do this by focusing on three primary program areas:

Advocacy - ACA houses Alaska's only environmental lobby. Our legislative staff in Juneau work to influence state policy and hold legislators and the Administration accountable for their actions. ACA also works with other member organizations to advocate local elected officials to pursue positive, pro-conservation measures.

Voter 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.

Coordination - ACA keeps the Alaska conservation community coordinated. ACA convenes the conservation community for strategic planning meetings in May and November each year -and ad hoc around emerging issues-to revise strategies, share information, and strengthen working relationships.
