In addition to our efforts to protect key landscapes in Alaska, The Wilderness Society is a leader in research to determine how climate change will affect Alaska and the Arctic.

In Alaska's southeast panhandle, we are working to restore a majestic rainforest that's been exploited for many years.

The Wilderness Society works with numerous national conservation organizations in our effort to protect the Arctic Ocean.

The Arctic Ocean may be remote and frigid, but it is home to abundant life and a delicate marine ecosystem. Despite the risks posed by offshore oil drilling, the oil industry is bent on gaining access to these fragile waters.

The National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska provides critical habitat to numerous Arctic species. We are committed to protecting sensitive areas from drilling.
