Audubon Alaska is a science-based conservation organization that works to protect birds, other wildlife, and their habitats across Alaska. We use science to identify conservation priorities and support conservation actions and policies, with an emphasis on public lands and waters, and through education we seek to raise public awareness about the natural ecosystems of Alaska.

Below are some of our areas of focus.
