At the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center you have the wonderful chance to experience Alaska's natural wildlife in one convenient location. The AWCC rescues orphaned and injured wildlife from across the state. They have moose, Caribou, Black Bears, Grizzly Bears, Bald Eagles, Wood Bison, Elk, Deer, Coyotes, Musk Ox, Lynx and more! You can see these animals in as natural of a state as can be recreated. These beautiful creatures are nursed back to health and sometimes released back into the wild.
The AWCC also helps in species re-introduction, such as the Wood Bison. This species only exists in Canada, but once thrived in Alaska. AWCC has the only herd in the United States. The first animals born in the U.S. were at the AWCC, and with it's distinction as the largest land mammal in North America, they are sure to thrive once more in Alaska's climate.
Among other wildlife in the center, AWCC has two Lynx. These sisters were rescued by a firefighter in 2004, and brought to the center for rehabilitation. Because the kittens were so young when they were rescued, they will live their lives in the park.
Come visit these magnificent examples of local animals at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.

We had a wonderful vacation in Alaska. It was a vacation the four of us will never forget. Your knowledge of your state helped us follow your directions on our itinerary each day, and everything went smooth. I will certainly recommend to anyone who is thinking of a Alaskan vacation. Thank you so very much.
