Own or work at a business that supports wildlife? Become a sponsor!
Advocate with Credibility: This is not just a donation, this is a movement 42 years in the making. We advocate on behalf of our members to ensure that powerful decision makers hear your voice and make a commitment to sustainable wildlife management practices. The more members we have with diverse, engaged backgrounds, the more credibility we, and the wildlife we speak for, have at the management table. Your membership bolsters our testimony and standing in these fights. Wildlife viewing brings $1.4 billion to Alaska each year, and yet there is no seated representation for wildlife viewing on the Alaska Board of Game. Help us bring the interests of wildlife viewing and sustainable & ethical hunting to the forefront of management decisions.
Shaping this community: We are an alliance. We seek two-way communication with our members so that you can help us shape the actions we take, ethics we promote, and the strategy we pursue in our programs. You can be an advocate.
We provide opportunities for our business sponsors to draft or sign-on to letters and actions that address wildlife and habitat decisions through our “Business for Wildlife” listserv. When you become a sponsor, you become connected to businesses across the state interested in wildlife conservation. Though that network, you can draft letters and statements for business participation, and sign on to issues you agree to support. We seek support from our members all the time to provide local information on a wildlife issue or proposals, sign on as a Declarant in our lawsuits, or help us take action on overlooked and important issues. As a member, you ensure that we best represent the interests of Alaska’s wildlife.
