ANILCA Training
Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980
What is ANILCA?
Through ANILCA, Congress designated new national parklands, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, and other conservation lands in Alaska; for a total of 139 million acres (more than one third of the state). Congress balanced the unprecedented scale of these designations with similarly unprecedented accommodations for Alaskans’ way of life and reliance on a resource-based economy.

ANILCA Training Objectives
Seek a greater understanding of this sweeping legislation and its influence on conservation policy, business opportunities, Alaska residents’ way of life, resource development, and public land management in Alaska. Understanding ANILCA assists both federal managers and non-federal stakeholders in finding implementation solutions that continue to balance conservation and Alaska’s unique circumstances. Participation by multiple agencies and non-federal stakeholders enriches the learning experience. Recommended for Federal agencies with ANILCA implementation responsibilities, state and local land and resource managers, Native corporations, tribal entities, rural residents, inholders, as well as community leaders, policy makers, consultants, news media, the academic community, and interested public.
