The Alaska Natural Heritage Program AKNHP is Alaskas clearinghouse for information on plant and animal species of conservation concern, natural communities of conservation concern, and invasive nonnative plant species. We collect, validate, and distribute this information, and assist natural resource managers and others in applying it effectively. The Alaska Natural Heritage Program is part of NatureServe, and our data are linked to similar programs in all 50 states, most Canadian provinces, and many Latin American countries. AKNHP was established in 1989 by The Nature Conservancy and in 1993 became part of the University of Alaska Anchorage, residing in the Environment and Natural Resources Institute of the College of Arts and Sciences.
