This paper examines how Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska balances stability and change amid climate shifts and social transformation. Traditionally considered pristine wilderness, protected areas now face ecological disruption, tourism pressures, and governance challenges. Using place-making and socio-ecological resilience frameworks, the study conceptualized conservation as a dynamic negotiation between people and ecosystems. Through interviews conducted from 2018 to 2021, 11 place narratives were identified, including ecosystem integrity, recreation, and livelihood. Each narrative illustrated how communities interpreted continuity and transformation in their relationships with local environments and each other. The findings showed that resilience was rooted in the strategies that residents used to preserve tradition and adapt to changing conditions. The paper concludes that protected area governance is shifting from static, outcome-based models to participatory, process-based approaches, where resilience is expressed through place-making as communities resist, adapt, and shape their future. |
