Wildlife Habitat Enhancement and Spatial Analysis Program (WHESAP)
Overview
WHESAP is an Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) initiative, founded in 2012, that is focused on improving wildlife habitat and supporting land and wildlife management decisions through spatial analysis and on-the-ground conservation work.
WHESAP integrates habitat enhancement with geospatial tools to guide, plan, and implement projects that benefit wildlife populations, support sustainable recreation and hunting, and address pressing conservation needs across Alaska.
What We Do
Enhance Wildlife Habitat
Restore or improve habitat using prescribed fire, mechanical treatments, native vegetation plantings, and low-tech wetland restoration.
Provide Spatial Analysis Support
Deliver mapping, remote sensing, and GIS-based products to assist land managers and biologists in project planning, implementation, and tracking.
Coordinate Statewide Wildlife Habitat Efforts
Connect field staff, agency partners, and local communities to advance habitat goals through coordinated planning and shared resources.
