As the only DC-based environmental group focused on protecting Alaska’s wild places, Alaska Wilderness League’s mission is to lead the effort to preserve Alaska’s wild lands and waters by engaging citizens and decision makers with a courageous, constant, victorious voice for Alaska.

Founded in 1993, the League has fought to preserve the Tongass National Forest, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Arctic Ocean as the beautiful public lands and waters that they were meant to be.

From the beluga whales and seals of the Arctic Ocean to the salmon-filled rivers of the Tongass, with denning polar bears and caribou in the Arctic Refuge, Alaska is a one-of-a-kind environment filled with truly breathtaking landscapes and iconic wildlife. Yet, destructive forces like oil drilling, logging, and climate change threaten to destroy this last true American frontier. The League leads the charge in standing together for a wild Alaska and protects our public lands in this region for all Americans to enjoy.
