Audubon Alaska's Ecological Atlases

Our Goals
Providing accessible, science-based ecological atlases that support informed conservation and sustainable management of Alaska’s landscapes and waters.
What We’re Doing
Advancing science-based conservation by developing and sharing ecological atlases that synthesize the best available data to inform management decisions and promote long-term stewardship of Alaska’s birds, wildlife, habitats, and communities.

Audubon Alaska’s ecological atlases bring together decades of scientific research, Indigenous and local knowledge, and spatial data to illuminate the relationships among wildlife, habitats, people, and development across some of Alaska’s most important landscapes and seascapes. Explore downloadable publications and companion reports that support conservation and informed management in some of Alaska's priority landscapes.

Ecological Atlas of Southeast Alaska
Audubon Alaska researched data and compiled information from researchers and agencies to create a thorough look at the landscape of Southeast, from human uses such as airports and ferry routes to wildlife uses such as bird and salmon habitat.

Ecological Atlas of Southeast Alaska

Where can you find the highest number of bird species in Southeast Alaska? Where does the habitat of brown and black bears overlap? Audubon Alaska’s Ecological Atlas of Southeast Alaska answers these questions and more through maps and written descriptions. Audubon Alaska researched data and compiled information from researchers and agencies to create a thorough look at the landscape of Southeast, from human uses such as airports and ferry routes to wildlife uses such as bird and salmon habitat.

Ecological Atlas of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas

The Ecological Atlas of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas is a comprehensive, transboundary atlas that contains over 100 maps of Arctic marine mammals, seabirds, sea ice, subsistence, and more. The Atlas is organized into six sections that build, layer by layer, the ecological foundation of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas.

Ecological Atlas of Alaska's Western Arctic

In July 2016, Audubon Alaska completed a long-term effort to integrate the best available science into a series of maps highlighting key resources within Alaska's Western Arctic. The resulting publication, the Ecological Atlas of Alaska's Western Arctic, helps the reader explore the land­scape and better understand the overlap of wildlife, people, and development to inform conservation and management.

Marine Ecological Atlas of the Pribilof Islands 

This atlas documents the extraordinary ecological and cultural significance of the waters surrounding St. Paul and St. George Islands in the Bering Sea. Developed through a co-production approach that combines Indigenous and local knowledge with western scientific data, the atlas maps the distribution and relative abundance of key species and habitats, from zooplankton and commercially important fish and crab populations to seabirds, marine mammals, and human uses such as subsistence harvest and commercial fishing. The atlas highlights the Pribilofs as a globally important hotspot of marine biodiversity that supports abundant wildlife, internationally significant seabird colonies, major fisheries, and the enduring traditions and food security of Unangan communities.
