ADFG seeks action plan input

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is seeking feedback from the public on a document that will guide the agency’s conservation work over the next 10 years. The draft 2015 revision of Alaska’s Wildlife Action Plan is available now for public and agency review.

The plan’s purpose is to identify the state’s species of greatest conservation need, describe distribution and habitat use, and recognize key threats and conservation actions that might be used to ensure healthy populations into the future.

The preliminary draft plan is available electronically for public review and comment. No hard copies will be printed.

Comments on the Preliminary Plan Draft will be accepted through Sept. 4 and may be sent by email to dfg.swapinput@alaska.gov. The final plan will be published and submitted to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service on Sept. 30.

To view or learn more about the plan, visit http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=species.wap2015revision, or contact Matt Kirchhoff at matt.kirchhoff@alaska.gov.
