The Northern Alaska Environmental Center promotes conservation of the environment and sustainable resource stewardship in Interior and Arctic Alaska through education and advocacy. The Northern Center operates 3 major programs, the Arctic, Clean Water & Mining, and Local Conservation Solutions. The Clean Water & Mining Program seeks to protect clean air, clean water, and wilderness through robust state and federal permitting processes for northern mines, and monitors schemes to mine northern coal deposits, especially plans for transportation infrastructure that would have major cumulative effects especially in the Western Arctic.
