The magnificent mountains, lakes, rivers and streams of Southwest Alaska, a largely untamed expanse spanning 40 million acres, provide spawning grounds for all five species of Pacific salmon and important habitat for the brown bear. Through its Southwest Alaska Wild Salmon Initiative, the Fund and its partners aim to safeguard 400,000 acres of the region's most vulnerable salmon habitat, native lands and recreation areas in the next decade. In 2004, with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and many other partners, the Fund protected 117 acres along the Agulowak River in Wood-Tikchik State Park.
