Alaska / British Columbia
The Alaska and British Columbia Program includes five geographic regions: Arctic, Tongass National Forest, Great Bear Rainforest, Transboundary Watersheds, and British Columbia’s Central Interior. Wilburforce invests in advocacy and conservation/social science to identify and protect the most critical areas for wildlife and wildlands connectivity in these regions. Policy research and organizing that advances conservation and tackles climate change, inequity, and sustainable economies are important areas of interest. In BC, Wilburforce has a substantial focus on Indigenous-led lands/wildlife conservation and stewardship. We support connections between grantees across Wilburforce geographies and disciplines to build more powerful strategies, share learning, and connect campaigns.
