In today's newsletter:

In four years, the state culled 254 bears in Southwest Alaska. The intent is to revive caribou in that part of the state enough to reopen subsistence and sport hunting, but scientists and advocates worry the predator control gamble will fail.
-
A man was fatally shot by an Alaska State Trooper in Fairbanks early this morning following a brief pursuit, public safety officials say.
-
Opposition is pouring in against a large data center and power plant proposed for Alaska’s North Slope, as the state considers whether to approve a 50-year lease of state land to the project’s developer.

Scientists and advocates worry the state’s Southwest Alaska predator control gamble will fail, but still expand aerial bear gunning across the state. Some proponents say the program is necessary because bears imperil rural residents’ subsistence foods. (This is the first in a three-part series about the state's predator control program, reported with support from the Pulitzer Center.) |
