Eco-Nomics

ACA believes that a sound economy and a sound environment go hand-in-hand and that safeguarding Alaska's natural character and healthy ecosystems will promote a vibrant economy. Conservationists have been working to articulate our positive vision for Alaska's economy.

In order to win the hearts and minds of Alaskans and build conservation constituencies, ACA has developed a positive, sustainable vision for Alaska 's economy that embraces sustainable jobs, high environmental integrity, and quality of life. ACA aims to further protect habitat from uncontrolled development by leading the way to a diversified economy not based solely on resource extraction.

In 2007, ACA Executive Director Kate Troll embarked on a series of talks on "Eco-Nomics" around the state to promote the positive linkages between a sound environment and a sound economy. In particular, she highlighted the economic benefits of renewable energy development and its vast array of potential benefits to the state.

Outreach

In 2007, ACA is focusing attention on an Outreach program to work better with the conservation community and build relationships with new constituencies. Our outreach is helping educate Alaskans about conservation issues and improve the perception of Alaska's conservation community. Efforts are coordinated to unite the conservation community to speak with one, strong voice at the Alaska State Legislature.

ACA's outreach also expands the network of non-traditional allies by creating and organizing outreach programs to engage ACA with new constituencies.

Media Outreach
Our media outreach efforts help coordinate media efforts among conservation groups to strengthen the image of Alaska 's conservation community, and help protect Alaska's air, water and natural places.
