Major Activities

Activity 2

Tongass Fish People Place - ACF provides leadership and financial support to a coalition of conservation organizations, commercial fishermen, local businesses and local communities working together for sustainable management of the Tongass National Forest, the largest forest in the National Forest system and one of the last remaining temperate rainforests in the world. The coalition is focused on 1) supporting a rapid transition from old-growth to young-growth timber harvest; 2) building a sustainable wood products industry in the region; 3) increasing protection for the region's salmon fisheries that sustains the economies of the region's coastal communities; and 4) protecting the region's ancient rainforest.

Activity 3

Strengthening the Alaska conservation movement - Supporting Alaska's conservation movement lies at the core of the Alaska Conservation Foundation's (ACF) mission. In 2008, ACF initiated a comprehensive assessment of the Alaska conservation movement to identify opportunities for collaboration between conservation groups that would create greater efficiencies in operations, expand the diversity of the movement, and better achieve common goals. The result was the formation of a coalition of Alaska conservation leaders working together with ACF to transform the movement with the goal of increasing its power and influence, and building enduring change in the strength and diversity of efforts to protect Alaska's natural environment and the ways of life it sustains.
