Can People and Wildlife Adapt to a Changing Climate?
In northern climates, like Alaska and Canada, Conservancy staff and scientists are working with local residents to plan for a resilient Arctic.
River Restoration in Southeast Alaska Benefits Fish & People
Harris River, on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska, now has a half-mile of restored fish habitat where wild salmon can once more move freely. The Conservancy's restoration project also stabilized more than 2.5 miles of old roadbed from erosion. Restoration work will continue in 2009 with additional improvements to fish habitat.
"How Can People & Wildlife Adapt to a Changing Climate" is part of Anchorage Wildlife Lecture Series
An Anchorage lecture series called Wildlife Wednesdays features Peter Larsen, who directs the Conservancy's climate change program, at 7 p.m. on March 11. He'll speak about implementing science-based solutions that are mutually beneficial to both people and nature. Presentations are FREE to the public and held monthly at 7pm at the Z.J. Loussac Library in Anchorage. See the entire Wildlife Wednesdays series calendar here!
