A Critical Moment to Speak Up for Alaska’s Wildlife

There are times when we use our energy toward projects of a long-term nature.  We work on campaigns, we support ballot initiatives through the long and arduous process, we collect signatures, we man tables, we attend long boring meetings.  But there are other times when a simple hour or two of our time can have immediate results of a critical nature.

This is one of those times.

Clear your calendar for Tuesday night, because you will have the opportunity to cast a vote for wildlife, and for supporting a sustainable model of conservation - a recognition that the land and its wildlife are not here for us to “harvest” only, but that we must strike a balance between what we take, and what we leave for the greater enjoyment of all.  There is no question that many Alaskans, Native and non-Native, rural and urban, hunt and fish for subsistence, and for sport.  But for too long, the voices of those who stack our commissions see Alaska’s wildlife as ONLY a resource to be eaten or hung on a wall, and not as creatures in their own right, and a renewable resource for photographers, tourists and outdoor enthusiasts.
