SWAP Habitat Evaluations

To assist the Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADFG) with updating the Alaska Statewide Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) for 2025, an ABR team led by Rebecca McGuire and Terry Schick conducted a series of regional scale assessments of wildlife habitat value for Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). This desktop study involves developing wildlife habitat evaluations for the vertebrate SGCN identified for inclusion in the 2025 SWAP in each of 9 biogeographic regions in Alaska (6 terrestrial and 3 oceanic regions).
