What Is This Program?

Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) created an enduring legacy of national public lands in Alaska for the American people. Title II of ANILCA designated 10 new park areas and expanded three existing units. Congress respected the importance of these lands to Alaska rural residents and provided for traditional subsistence activities in nine of the new ANILCA park areas and two of the expanded areas. Four of the ANILCA park unitsโ€”Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, Cape Krusenstern National Monument, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve and Kobuk Valley National Parkโ€”have purpose statements that include protecting subsistence resources as a specific park function. In addition, Congress established a priority in Title VIII that gives local rural residents precedence for using fish or wildlife resources. This is commonly known as the "rural preference" and grants subsistence uses priority over other uses, such as non-local sport hunting and fishing.
