Breaking news! The Bureau of Land Management and Biden Administration just announced the final decision to permanently protect 28 million acres of public lands in Alaska known as Alaska's D-1 lands. We are incredibly proud of the leadership role we played over the last three years in this campaign. Congratulations to our members, grantees, and partners! This is a huge win because: ✅ Over 140 Alaska tribes called for this decision because ensuring protections remain in place will support the possibility of co-management of this land. ✅ Protecting this landscape will prevent more than 600 million tons of carbon dioxide from being released. ✅ Alaska’s outdoor recreation economy accounts for $2.6 billion and 20,000 jobs annually and it depends on access to intact public lands.
