[FONT=&quot]The Advisory Council was formed as a mandate of Denali's Backcountry Management Plan of 2006, an amendment to Denali's General Management Plan. The plan identified the dramatic increase in scenic overflights and concession-permitted airplane landings since the 1986 General Management Plan, and the consequent substantial changes in the natural sound environment. The identification of natural sounds as a resource was a key element of the Backcountry Management Plan and reflected the growing recognition by NPS managers that natural sounds are a legitimate resource requiring protection along with landscape and wildlife.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]<o

[FONT=&quot]The Council has 12 members representing a diversity of interests at Denali. The mission is to advise the Secretary of the Interior on matters relating to mitigation of impacts from aircraft overflights at Denali National Park and Preserve, by developing "voluntary measures for assuring the safety of passengers, pilots, and mountaineers and for achieving desired future resource conditions at Denali National Park and Preserve."[/FONT][FONT=&quot]<o
