Western Alaska Landscape Initiative
The Western Alaska Landscape Initiative works together to promote resilience and climate adaptation throughout Alaska. WALI’s partners consist of government agencies, tribes and tribal organizations, non-government organizations, universities, and other organizations or government entities with an interest in conservation in western Alaska.
The Western Alaska Partnership includes over 750 miles of rapidly changing terrain, including the permafrost-dominated tundra of the Seward Peninsula, complex river delta systems of the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers, abundant volcanoes of the Alaska Peninsula, and transitional forests of permafrost-free Kodiak Island.
Our mission is to bring partners together to coordinate, share, and develop applied science that can be used to inform conservation. We promote coordination, dissemination, and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial-marine linkages, in the face of landscape scale stressors, focusing on climate change.
