What You Need to Know About Ambler Road in Alaska

If built, the road would threaten North America's largest protected and roadless region, as well as food security and clean water for Alaska Native Tribes. Read more and take action

Your Actions at Work
This week we submitted 26,408 comments from Audubon advocates to the Department of the Interior in support of conservation and climate action within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Arctic, an ecologically and culturally irreplaceable place, is home to millions of migratory birds. There’s still time to take action on a conservation rule that would further protect, and possibly expand, the Western Arctic’s designated Special Areas. If approved, these two actions would be historic wins for the Arctic.
