Alaska's Copper River Delta is one of the most productive, untamed wetlands ecosystems in the world. Home to grizzlies, wolves, otters, lynx, beavers, millions of shorebirds and waterfowl, and some of the nation's most famous salmon runs, the Delta is the biological heart of a landscape of massive glaciers, tundra, and rainforest. Its spectacular bounty of fish and wildlife has supported generations of indigenous peoples and even today is the mainstay of the region's economy.

The Delta was the first site included in the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network, and has been designated a Critical Habitat Area by the state of Alaska and an emphasis area in the North American Waterfowl Management Plan.
