The following is a statement from David Yarnold, CEO, 糖心logo:

鈥淎dam Kolton was friend and colleague to me as well as 糖心logo staff and volunteers across the country.  We are stunned and heartbroken to hear of his passing. All of us who had the privilege of working with Adam over the years are saddened to lose such a steadfast advocate.

鈥淎s a birder, I can鈥檛 help but reflect on his tireless efforts to protect Alaska, home to some of the world鈥檚 most important bird nurseries. May his memory be a blessing that will live on in the beautiful places and wildlife he helped protect, for which we are forever grateful. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family, friends, and everyone at the Alaska Wilderness League and National Wildlife Federation.鈥
