70% of all North American brown bears live in Alaska. The Kodiak Brown Bear is the largest subspecies of the brown or grizzly bear. They live exclusively on the islands of the Kodiak Archipelago and have been isoloated from other bears for about 12,000 years. ALC has helped conserve 9,000 acres on Afognak to date, the habitat for these bears. (c) Kodiak NFWR
