The Bureau of Land Management announced an ambitious new restoration program in locales including #Alaska's Interior today. Funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, the region of Birch Creek and the Fortymile Wild & Scenic River will receive $5 million.

A new program to support Indigenous food security and food sovereignty seeks applications from tribes in Alaska. Known as the Indigenous Animals Harvesting and Meat Processing Grant, it helps communities harvest and put up a variety of traditional foods. https://t.co/yuOk103yjW

The world needs a massive increase in renewable energy production. But we need to be strategic to minimize impacts on nature and people. Global Renewables Watch, an ongoing effort with @Microsoft and @planet, could help inform better energy planning.

Congratulations to our very own Julia Nave on her recent promotion to Southeast #Alaska Program Director! Julia has been with TNC in Alaska for more than three years as a Juneau-based conservation forester and is now stepping into a leadership role.

We were pleased to support new #Alaska legislation that helps Alaska communities, consumers and the small-scale mills producing quality made-in-Alaska wood products. This new legislation removes obstacles to using Alaska lumber in Alaska homes. https://t.co/scskoAzWgf

Thanks to a TNC learning exchange with a Hawaiian cultural healing center, healers from Kake in Southeast #Alaska and a Hawaii community half an ocean apart come together to share a belief in the power of traditional culture to help people and the land.

It was so great to celebrate this big moment at the White House with @UnitedTribes_BB, @BBForever_AK and team @nature_AK!

[TNC Alaska @nature_AK]

It was a great day for #Alaska's #BristolBay! And we were happy to have TNC's @IvySpohnholz & @KelseySchober there in the Rose Garden with all those from Bristol Bay who joined in the celebration, including @UnitedTribes_BB's Alannah Hurley.

Bristol Bay's fish runs supply half of the world's wild sockeye salmon, supporting 15,000 jobs.

We listened to scientists, Tribal leaders, and fishers who rely on the bay and want to protect it from toxic waste.

If we take care of a resource like this, it can go on forever.

[TNC Alaska @nature_AK]

Today, at the @whitehouse Rose Garden, @UnitedTribes_BB Executive Director Alannah Hurley spoke about the local commitment to defend #BristolBay from the Pebble Mine: "Our people stood up and fought back to protect what we hold sacred." https://t.co/vblgL2xwnc

It's #amazing what you can learn in 5 minutes, and that's why we recommend this video! Get the history behind the shortcomings of current rules governing the traditional rights of Native people in #Alaska to hunt, fish and gather--spelled out in a clear and simple way.

[United Tribes of Bristol Bay @UnitedTribes_BB]

This new video looks at Alaska Native hunting & fishing rights & how the status quo came to be. Quyana to Igiugig Village Council, Coastal Cultures Research, @uafairbanks & all involved in making this short explanatory film! #POWOL #OurLandsOurWaters https://t.co/o9kPKkkx5S

“One thing they want to share with their peers, with their classmates and especially Indigenous youth is that if you see something that bothers you, you know it's not right, you find help and you can make a change.” via @kdlgradio https://t.co/zaYgXVL5kZ

"Unusually, the proposal has been backed by both loggers and environmental groups, with letters of support coming from the Nature Conservancy, Sitka Conservation Society, Alaska State Home Building Association and several small sawmills."

Many are wondering: What's a heat pump, and how can it reduce my home energy bills in a cold climate? Here's a great new primer on what one homeowner discovered when taking a step in the transition to a climate-friendly heating system. @ensiamedia https://t.co/vIwr4fjsj1
