Results Summary | Details | Questions/Comments

   The Division of Wildlife Conservation is responsible for the management of Alaska's wildlife resources. The primary goals of the division are to: (1) protect, maintain, and enhance the wildlife resources of Alaska; and (2) provide for their greatest use by the people, consistent with the sustained yield principle, for the well being of the people and the economy of the state.
End Result A: Healthy and sustainable wildlife populations in Alaska that provide a diversity of opportunities for public use and enjoyment.
42% of big game populations targets set by the Board of Game were met in FY2009, down from 2008 and below the 75% target.
Conservation action plans are in place for 10/11 (91%) of "species of concern", including blackpoll warbler, Townsend’s warbler, olive-sided flycatcher, Steller’s eider, spectacled eider, northern goshawk, Arctic peregrine falcon, American peregrine falcon, Aleutian Canada goose and Kenai brown bear.
Five species are listed on the state endangered species list, no change since 1993.
