 The rivers of the area are home to salmon.Birds include willow grouse, Siberian tit, wheatear, Wilson's warbler and boreal chickadee.This is a largely unspoilt environment home to large predators, although there is some development associated with tourism, especially at Kantishna near Denali Park, and some mining activity including the abandoned copper mining camp of Kennecott, Alaska in the Wrangell Mountains and coal mining at Nabesna and Healy, Alaska.
