In 1980, The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (ANILCA) changed the name of the Kenai National Moose Range to the Kenai National
Wildlife Refuge, and established the following purposes:
(i) to conserve fish
and wildlife populations and habitats in their natural diversity including, but
not limited to moose, bear, mountain goats, Dall sheep, wolves and other furbearers,
salmonoids and other fish, waterfowl and other migratory and nonmigratory birds;
(ii) to fulfill the international treaty obligations of the United States
with respect to fish and wildlife and their habitats; (iv) to ensure water
quality and quantity; (iv) to provide opportunities for research, interpretations,
environmental education, and land management training; and (v) to provide
in a manner compatible with these purposes, opportunities for fish and wildlife-oriented
recreation. |
