Alaska Nanuuq Commission

The Alaska Nanuuq Commission is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and management of wild polar bears (locally called "nanuuq") in Alaska. It works collaboratively with indigenous communities, government agencies, and conservation groups to ensure healthy polar bear populations, respect traditional practices, and promote sustainable coexistence with humans. The commission promotes scientific research, habitat protection, and education to address challenges like climate change that threaten polar bears’ survival. Overall, its goal is to balance ecological stability with cultural values and responsible stewardship of this iconic Arctic species.
