The comprehensive atlas, comprised of 44 detailed maps, examines the physical environment, important wildlife use areas, and anthropogenic impacts. The atlas will be circulated for public review until November. Learn more about the atlas, view the maps, and comment on our draft.

Is it any surprise that Alaska has more globally significant bird habitats than any other state in the union? Over the last seven years, Audubon has combed Alaska to find Important Bird Areas (IBAs) across the state. To showcase these habitats, we are offering beautiful, poster-sized maps for your wall or classroom. The map is more than a geography lesson or promotional swag; it features full-color, original artwork by David Allen Sibley. Email us to request a your copy free-of-charge (though donations to offset costs and to support our IBA program are always appreciated).
Protect the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
Called "America's Serengeti" for its tremendous biological productivity and diversity, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one America's last big untouched ecosystems. The Refuge is home to 42 mammal species, including more than 120,000 caribou, 36 species of fish, and more than 160 species of birds. Although much of Alaska’s North Slope is already open to drilling, oil and gas interests continue to lobby hard to drill in the Refuge. Read more about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and take action to urge your members of Congress to permanently protect the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
