Department Seeks Public Comments on Draft Alaska Wildlife Action Plan

(Juneau) — The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is seeking feedback on a document that will guide the agency’s conservation work over the next 10 years. The draft 2015 revision of Alaska’s Wildlife Action Plan is available now for public and agency review.

The plan’s purpose is to identify Alaska’s species of greatest conservation need, describe distribution and habitat use, and recognize key threats and conservation actions that might be used to ensure healthy populations into the future.

The preliminary draft plan is available in electronic format for public review and comment. No hard copies will be printed.

Comments on the Preliminary Plan Draft will be accepted through Friday, September 4, 2015 and may be sent by email to: dfg.swapinput@alaska.gov. The Final State Wildlife Action Plan will be published and submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on September 30.
