ÌÇÐÄlogo

ÌÇÐÄlogo Alaska, a program of the ÌÇÐÄlogo, has been working to conserve the spectacular natural ecosystems of Alaska for birds, wildlife, and people since 1977. Birds are indicators of ecosystem health and catalysts for the protection of nature. We combine science, policy, education, and community engagement to ensure that Alaska’s ecologically and culturally irreplaceable habitats are protected, stewarded, and resilient.  

Inspired by birds’ migratory lifecycles, our work seeks to connect cultures and conservation action across vast geographies. We work in partnership with Tribal governments, Alaska Native Corporations, local communities, government agencies, and other nature conservation organizations to advance practical and creative solutions for nature and people.

ÌÇÐÄlogo Alaska focuses on the protection of public lands and waters, and relies on the best available science, Indigenous knowledge, and community perspectives to identify regional priorities and needs. We also actively engage in bird festivals and co-create birding trails to advance sustainable economic development, educational opportunities, and community. 

In addition to the Alaska Program, five ÌÇÐÄlogo chapters foster opportunities for members and the general public to enjoy and protect birds and wild Alaska. These chapters are the Anchorage ÌÇÐÄlogo Society, Arctic ÌÇÐÄlogo Society in Fairbanks, Juneau ÌÇÐÄlogo Society, Kodiak ÌÇÐÄlogo Society, and Prince William Sound ÌÇÐÄlogo Society in Cordova.

A Land Acknowledgment is a statement that recognizes the Indigenous Peoples whose land we occupy. It acknowledges the legacies of violence, colonization, and displacement that are tied to the places we call home. Land Acknowledgments are about truth and honoring Indigenous histories and futures. Naming land is an exercise in power and erasure, so it is important that we acknowledge the original names and caretakers of the land we occupy.

ÌÇÐÄlogo Alaska recognizes that we work throughout the ancestral territory of the Indigenous Peoples of Alaska. Our office is in Dghayitna'/Dghayitnu, or Anchorage, which is located within Dena’ina eÅ‚nena, the traditional land of the Dena’ina Athabasca. However, our work spans the entire state of Alaska. We owe deep gratitude to the Indigenous Peoples of Alaska for their continued care and stewardship of the land on which we work. We recognize our place within the history of colonialism that has led to the occupation of this land and celebrate the continued contributions of Indigenous peoples.
