The Emperor Goose is a top contender for best looking goose on the planet. Izembek National Wildlife Refuge and State Game Refuge in Alaska supports 98 percent of Brant that use the Pacific Flyway each year, more than half of the world population of Emperor Geese, and a significant proportion of the global populations of endangered Steller’s Eider and Taverner’s Cackling Goose. . . . @andyjohnsonphoto @usgs @usfws

The Aghileen Pinnacles with Pavlof Sister, Pavlof Volcano, and Little Pavlof at dawn. The spectacular volcanic geology around Izembek Lagoon adds to the refuges outstanding wilderness qualities. More than two-thirds of Izembek’s 417,500 acres are designated as federally protected wilderness. . @andyjohnsonphoto And I sent 6 weeks at Izembek in late summer and fall and only saw the mountain tops on a handful of occasions. The morning I took this photo was one in a million. . . @chrisburkard

Though it’s not known as a bear viewing location, Izembek National Wildlife Refuge holds some of the highest densities of Grizzly bear in the world. Summer runs of sockeye, chum, pink, and silver salmon fill the refuge's waterways and provide food for an abundance of terrestrial mammals. @andyjohnsonphoto and I flew the drone out to capture this scene while filming for the film “Izembek” linked in my bio. --------------------------------------- Photo by @gerritvyn for @cornellbirds Conservation Media Program --------------------------------------- Izembek National Wildlife Refuge is a place few people have heard of but its fate is important to the protection of public lands and wilderness everywhere in the United States. There has been pressure for nearly four decades to build a road through Izembek’s federally designated wilderness but it has consistently been found that a road would cause long-term damage to the refuge’s unique habitats and major impacts to its wilderness values. Efforts to build the road heated up again under the current administration. In January 2018 former Department of the Interior head Ryan Zinke signed a controversial land transfer agreement trading away vital lands to make way for the road’s construction and in July 2019 current Interior Secretary David Bernhardt entered into another agreement to exchange Izembek refuge lands to facilitate construction of the road. Luckily both of these agreements were stuck down by the courts as the result of lawsuits filed by a coalition of environmental groups. Construction of a road through the refuge is unnecessary and would undermine the purpose and intent of The Wilderness Act. The proposed land exchange would be the first “de-designation” of federally protected wilderness lands for the objective of allowing a development project to proceed. ---------------------------------------

Throughout the arctic and subarctic, Pacific walrus have been showing up in new places in recent years including the protected barrier islands that separate Izembek Lagoon from the Bering Sea. Diminished summer sea ice due to climate change and a redistribution of marine organisms in the changing Bering and Chukchi Seas are the likely cause of new and unexpected walrus movements. Protecting their terrestrial haul outs and undisturbed time to rest ashore is more critical to their survival than ever. --------------------------------------- Photo by @gerritvyn for @cornellbirds Conservation Media Program --------------------------------------- Izembek National Wildlife Refuge is a place few people have heard of but its fate is important to the protection of public lands and wilderness everywhere in the United States.

Eelgrass and incoming tide in Izembek Lagoon Highly nutritious eelgrass is a favored food of Brant (a species of marine goose) and the lagoon attracts virtually the entire world population of Pacific Black Brant each fall as they migrate south from more northerly breeding areas in Alaska, Canada, and Russia. For several months they feed and fatten up there for a 3000-mile, nonstop migration to the west coast of North America and Mexico. --------------------------------------- Photo by @gerritvyn for @cornellbirds Conservation Media Program --------------------------------------- Izembek National Wildlife Refuge is a place few people have heard of but its fate is important to the protection of public lands and wilderness everywhere in the United States.

Izembek Lagoon at Sunset At the far end of the Alaska Peninsula, where land gives way to the Bering Sea, sits a little-known backwater that few Americans know exists, and even fewer visit: Izembek National Wildlife Refuge. More than two-thirds of Izembek’s 417,500 acres are designated as federally protected wilderness. It was the first place in the United States to be designated under the RAMSAR Convention as a Wetland of International Importance, and it is recognized as an Important Bird Area of global significance by Audubon and BirdLife International. Izembek has been recognized for half a century for the ecological value of its unique wetlands and their importance to migratory birds. Check out our short film “Izembek” from @cornellbirds (link in bio)!

Izembek National Wildlife Refuge is a place few people have heard of but its fate is important to the protection of public lands and wilderness everywhere in the U.S. The short story is there have been efforts for many years to build a commercially motivated road through Izembek's federally protected wilderness. Luckily, a recent court ruling has stopped those efforts (once again) but it is likely to be an ongoing issue. The short film linked in my bio was created with my colleagues @cornellbirds as part of an effort to finally put a face to the name Izembek. I hope you enjoy it and will pass it along to others as you see fit (share, share,share)! I'll be sharing photos from Izembek on my Instagram @gerritvyn and my Facebook page in the weeks to come as well! Hope you all are well wherever you are! . . .
