Restoring the North’s Most Majestic Resident
Moose — Mooz in the Ojibwe language — have long roamed Minnesota’s boreal forests. For both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, they are a living emblem of strength, sustenance, and deep connection to the northern wilderness.
But this iconic symbol of the North is fading.
Over the past two decades, northeastern Minnesota’s moose population has fallen by nearly 60%.
Through a commitment to research, habitat restoration, and education, the Northern Moose Alliance is working to ensure a future where moose — and the habitats that sustain them — are able to thrive.
Northern Moose Alliance Leadership Partners
“Protecting moose and their habitats is vital to preserving the area’s natural heritage and cultural traditions.
Moose serve as a keystone species that helps maintain the health and balance of the environment.
This alliance isn’t just about studying moose; it’s about protecting a way of life, a landscape, and a legacy that belongs to future generations.”
