Some of our best chances to protect large, intact landscapes for climate, communities and wildlife lie in the 49th state. Big recent conservation wins in Bristol Bay and the Tongass National Forest provide a model for indigenous- and community-led conservation that protects landscapes, provides significant climate benefits and generates economic opportunity.
