Lake Clark National Park protects a vast Alaskan wilderness where brown bears roam the coast and endangered Cook Inlet belugas swim offshore each winter — a landscape Nat Hab travelers experience at our Alaska Bear Camp. Center for Biological Diversity Alaska Director Cooper Freeman and Nat Hab's Court Whelan and Dana Cama explain the proposed Johnson Tract gold mine and what it could mean for the wildlife and ecosystems of this region. Learn what's at stake for brown bears, belugas, and other wildlife, how conservation advocates are working to protect one of Alaska's great wild places — and what you can do to help.
