Investor Presentaiton
Alaska resource development-and
who benefits from it-is driven by
land ownership and the priorities of
land owners.
Almost all land in Alaska is owned by
the federal government, the state
government, or Native corporations.
Different federal and state lands are
managed by different agencies with
different priorities ranging from
preserving lands as wilderness to
developing resources such as oil, timber
and minerals. About 40% of Alaska is
in federal conservation systems where
resource development is somewhat
restricted. About 15% is in "wilderness"
where all resource development is
restricted.
Except on Native lands, almost any
kind of resource development in Alaska
involves dealing with federal or state
landowners. Native corporations also
vary in their priorities for resource
development.
