It's not a rarity in downtown Anchorage, Alaska to see a moose standing on a street corner, munching on a favorite mountain ash tree in your yard or lying in a vacant lot. Moose, bear, wolves, coyote, lynx and eagles are a part of Anchorage's landscape that makes it unique from most urban cities in the United States.
People living in Anchorage feel very passionate about their close wild neighbors.
It appears that this model plan to manage Anchorage's 52 mammal and 230 bird species is raising hairs on the backs of the City Mayor, some Assembly members and Anchorage's Chamber of Commerce. Based on the above referenced survey, we beg to differ Mr. Mayor. Let's hope they do so, or Anchorage could look like any other city in the near future, with just some pigeons and a few red squirrels.
