Northwest Boreal Partnership
The Northwest Boreal Partnership is a collaboration of diverse individuals and organizations supporting healthy lands and peoples across southcentral and interior Alaska and northwestern Canada. By working together on common goals, we aim to create positive lasting environmental and social change by supporting stewardship of our lands, waters, and communities through collaborative science and knowledge projects, sharing critical information and resources, relationship-building, and fostering international collaborations.
Transcending International Boundaries
Our regional landscape transcends international boundaries. The NWBP focuses our work and network of partners within the boreal forest biome and includes Southcentral and Interior Alaska, most of the Yukon Territory, the northern portion of British Columbia, and the western half of the Northwest Territories. The area includes over 330 million acres, and encompasses large portions of the Yukon River, Kuskokwim River, Susitna River, and Copper River Basins, as well as portions of the traditional lands of the Dené Athabascan, Gwich’in, Tagish, and Tlingit peoples. Many of our projects develop large scale data and information that spans the US-Canada border. Our work is focused on benefiting shared natural landscapes rather than being limited by our political or drawn borders.
