At night, birds use the stars to find their way. But bright lights from buildings can confuse them. That's why national parks are so important - they're like bird hotels! They give birds safe places to rest and eat, especially after flying across the ocean.
Why Snowshoe Hares Use Mineral Licks
- Type: Article

After nearly 20 years, the snowshoe hare population in the central Brooks Range on the eastern boundary of Gates of the Arctic National Park is building toward a peak in the population. Traditional ecological knowledge of the area tells us that the coming peak should be considerably larger than the small population increase we saw in 2008-2010. Based on the report: Snowshoe hare population trends at mineral and non-mineral sites in the central Brooks Range, Alaska.
What to Do About Number Two? Insights from Decades of Human Waste Research and Management on Denali
- Type: Article

Backcountry waste management poses unique challenges on glaciers at over 14,000 feet. Mountaineering on Denali has a long history, including decades of human waste buried on the most popular climbing route--Kahiltna Glacier. As much as 88 metric tons of human waste is estimated to have been generated by mountaineers on the West Buttress climbing route since it was first climbed in 1951. What happens to this waste and what are the impacts? Alaska Park Science, 2025
Inclusive Conservation in the Denali Region of Alaska: Scenario planning with local communities
- Type: Article

Public land management requires reflexive engagement, negotiation, and compromise among people who differ in how and why they value nature. The process of balancing visitor and resident interests while sustaining ecosystems is increasingly complicated by global environmental change and the range of relationships that people have with nature. This model of public engagement uses scenario planning throughout the decision-making process. Alaska Park Science, 2025

Successful management of wildland fire is a team effort. National Park Service (NPS) staff in Alaska have formed a unique partnership with the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Fire Service (AFS), which has helped to turn challenges into opportunities, and increased operational efficiency in utilization of helicopters for fire suppression. This partnership has benefited not only Alaska, but also the wildland firefighting effort in several western states.
Pelagia Melgenak
- Type: Person

To learn the story of Pelagia (also spelled Palakia) Melgenak is to learn the sanctity of shared traditions, the loving bonds of kinship and the reverence of a spiritual connection to the land around you. Born in the late 1870s in the remote village of Savonoski in Alaska, Pelagia grew up learning about hunting, gathering, navigating and guiding in the area. That all changed in 1912 with the hot ash falling like a blanket covering the region with the eruption of Novarupta.

Piti
- Type: Place

Above the village of Piti, sit three large Japanese Vickers-type Model 3 140mm coastal defense guns, the remains of hastily constructed fortifications build on the eve of the American invasion of Guam. As the Americans conquered more and more territory in the Pacific, the Japanese forced the CHamoru to build fortifications and install artillery and costal defense guns on Guam under brutal conditions.
