One small step toward fixing Alaska’s rigged system of wildlife management Author: Bill Sherwonit Published 2 hours ago

Print article Alaska’s wildlife management system is rigged and it shows little, if any, sign of changing. Still, there’s always hope that Alaska’s system will one day be transformed into something that more closely reflects the values of most Alaska residents, though I’m less and less confident it will happen in my lifetime. One small step in that direction would be for the Alaska Legislature to deny Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s appointment of Lynn Keogh Jr. to the Alaska Board of Game (BOG).

As state leaders and Alaskans reflect on how far we ve come together in this last year, it provides an opportunity to acknowledge the fundamental partnerships that have been vital in achievement of these milestones.
