Alaska Ecosystem Analysis

Alaska’s untamed wilderness teems with legendary megafauna: massive moose roam boreal forests, while caribou herds like the Western Arctic migrate vast distances. Coastal brown bears, the world’s largest, fish salmon rivers alongside wolves. Mountain goats and Dall sheep scale rugged peaks, while muskoxen endure Arctic tundra. Polar bears patrol northern ice, and black bears thrive statewide. Alaska’s game—sustaining Indigenous cultures and regulated hunts—represents North America’s last truly wild populations.
