The Alaska Wildlife Alliance, an Anchorage-based
nonprofit, is alert to wildlife protection issues throughout its
enormous state. Since its start 20 years ago as part of Greenpeace
Alaska, the alliance has voiced the opinions of the state’s
non-hunters in its quarterly, The Spirit. “Protecting wildlife and
their habitat is the bottom line for us. We are not anti-hunting,
but we are against extreme forms of wildlife management such as
wolf sterilization,” says spokesman Stephen Wells. Members have
participated in state wildlife monitoring teams, organized public
protests and hearings, and spearheaded lawsuits. Call the Alaska
Wildlife Alliance at 907/277-0897, or by e-mail:
