AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoWildlife Protections: The National Park Service finalized a rule allowing hunters to bait black and brown bears on Alaska national preserves, reversing protections restored in 2024. A separate federal rule allows fossil fuel companies to “unintentionally” kill polar bears and walruses. Park Access: The Interior Department restored Alaska-specific management rules for national parks, while new proposals would expand vehicle access in Denali and off-road subsistence access in Gates of the Arctic. Climate Hazards: Landslide-triggered tsunamis pose a growing threat in Alaska’s busy fjords, and communities lack a clear plan to address the risk. Walrus Rescue: Researchers and local partners saved an orphaned walrus calf found between two dead adults near Point Lay; after days delayed by storms, it was taken more than 800 miles to the Alaska SeaLife Center.
