Executive Summary
October 2006
This report, written in collaboration with Global Forest Watch, presents an analysis and geographical representation of relatively large forest landscapes free of visual evidence of human disturbances across the State of Alaska, USA. These undisturbed landscapes, classified and mapped as Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) and Forest Landscape Fragments (FLFs), were mappedusing methods similar to other Global Forest Watch (GFW) mapping efforts in Russia, Canada, and Chile. IFLs and FLFs were mapped for both Alaska’s boreal and coastal temperate rainforest regions. Additional analysis for identified IFLs and FLFs includes ownership, protection status, forest composition, and fire disturbance.
