Description

Alaska Wilderness League works at the federal level on a variety of issues affecting Alaska's wild land and waters. Currently, the League is fighting to permanently protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as Wilderness, promote the sustainable future of the Tongass and Chugach National Forests, and check the unbalanced and potentially destructive development of Alaska's arctic waters and Western Arctic public land.

The League, based in Washington, DC, opened an Arctic Environmental Justice Center in Anchorage, AK in January 2007.
