An Alaska Superior Court ruling permits the state to kill an unlimited number of black and brown bears across 40,000 square miles of southwest Alaska this summer. The state claims this "bear control program" will boost a struggling caribou herd, but there is no scientific evidence to support this assertion.

Cooper Freeman, Alaska director at the Center for Biological Diversity, expressed concern about the "unlawful plan's irreversible consequences" and the lack of scientific basis. He emphasized the need to protect wildlife based on science, not "disgraceful waste of the state’s limited resources."

The Center for Biological Diversity and Alaska Wildlife Alliance are collaborating to stop this program. Support their efforts in this critical fight.

The Tongass National Forest, a vast old-growth rainforest and home to Alaskan black bears, is a crucial natural defense against the climate crisis. The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to protect such vital ecosystems and secure a future for all species, recognizing that human welfare is deeply linked to nature's diversity.

Through science, law, and creative media, we focus on protecting the lands, waters, and climate species need to survive, ensuring future generations inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

The Center and three Alaska Native Tribes have sued the Trump administration for illegally trading federal land vital to tribal members. This land swap threatens Izembek, one of the world's most important migratory bird staging areas. Critical eelgrass wetlands, relied on by emperor geese, black brant, and other birds that sustain these communities, face irreparable damage from a proposed road.

This unlawful giveaway would undermine subsistence food systems and set a dangerous precedent for all 104 million acres of Alaska's protected wildlands. We are fighting to stop this destruction and urge you to stand with us.

The Center and three Alaska Native Tribes have sued the Trump administration for illegally trading federal land vital to tribal members. This land swap threatens Izembek, a globally important migratory bird staging area. Its critical eelgrass wetlands support emperor geese, black brant, and other birds essential for tribal subsistence.

A proposed road would irreparably damage this habitat, undermine traditional food systems, and set a dangerous precedent for Alaska's 104 million acres of protected wildlands. We are fighting to stop this unlawful giveaway of Izembek. Stand with us.
