Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary dedicated to conserving Alaska's wildlife through animal care, education, and conservation efforts. Located along the Turnagain Arm, the center spans 200 acres and provides large natural habitats for animals that are unable to survive independently in the wild. Its layout allows visitors to explore the grounds by vehicle or on foot while viewing animals in expansive outdoor settings.

The center cares for a variety of Alaska native species, including brown bears, black bears, moose, musk oxen, wood bison, caribou, elk, deer, wolves, and other northern wildlife. Many animals at the center arrived due to injury, orphaning, or other circumstances that prevented release. Interpretive signs and viewing areas help visitors understand each species and the challenges facing Alaska's wildlife. The combination of open habitats, rescued animals, and a strong focus on native species makes the center particularly suited to travelers seeking a wildlife experience connected closely to Alaska's landscapes and ecosystems.
