From protecting the #TongassNationalForest via the Roadless Rule, to working toward designations of imperiled species, now I go after the unethical *tossing away* of dead salmon, even orca whales from fishing "trollers." I will never stop fighting the good fight. My dear #Alaska.

Alaska’s Supreme Court allows personal watercraft in Kachemak Bay, threatening quiet coves, eelgrass, and wildlife nurseries. Protecting wild places requires more than just rules—it takes courage to defend habitats, silence, and legacies. #AlaskaConservation #KachemakBay

Alaska is home to 16 national wildlife refuges, but these programs have struggled due to recent staffing and budget cuts. As a result, many of these refuges have had to rely on volunteers to maintain key services and programs. #Conservation #WildlifePreservation

BP left scars on Alaska’s North Slope—abandoned wells and toxic sites harming land, water, and Indigenous communities. Cleanup is overdue. We need accountability, Indigenous leadership, and lasting #stewardship. #AlaskaConservation #ProtectTheLands

BP no longer produces oil in Alaska, but it is responsible for the sites because of its ties to companies that explored there.
