The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) is a self-directed partnership governed by a Steering Committee. The Steering Committee includes representatives from 14 State, Federal and Tribal organizations. It is one of 5 LCCs in Alaska and one of 22 in North America. Our mission is to promote coordination, dissemination and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial-marine linkages in the face of a changing climate and related stressors. Congress provides seed funding for our LCC through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
