PARTNERSHIPS FOR
HARMONY IN NATURE...
For more than two thousand years humans
have shared the Chilkoot River Valley with
salmon, brown bears and eagles. As the home
for many generations of Chilkoot Natives, the
land is a repository of cultural significance, as
well as prime wildlife habitat.
The lower river corridor is currently used by
local residents and travelers for subsistence
and sport fishing, for wildlife viewing and
commercial tourism. Increased pressure on the
resource has called into question whether the
balance of human and bear activity can
continue.
The Alaska Chilkoot Bear Foundation works to forge partnerships to
ensure that all elements of the ecosystem will
continue to exist in harmony for generations
to come.
