ACTION ALERT: Defend Alaska's Brooks Range From Ambler Road

TAKE ACTION: [link removed]



North America’s largest protected and roadless region is under threat from a proposed industrial corridor that could destroy hundreds of miles of habitat. More than 14,000 advocates have taken action to protect it—join them and act now by December 19.
 
The Brooks Range in Alaska is essential for the Alaska Native peoples who live, hunt, and fish in Northwest Alaska. It's home to the world's only remaining populations of migrating caribou, and dozens of migratory and boreal bird species, from Gray-headed Chickadees to Arctic Loons. 

The Ambler Road proposal puts the Brooks Range and everything within it at risk. This will not be a simple road, but a private 211-mile industrial corridor that would threaten the health of the region's plants and wildlife, as well as the food security and clean water of Alaska Native Tribes. More than forty communities whose livelihoods are tied to the region will be affected and disrupted. 

The Bureau of Land Management must prevent the construction of Ambler Road by choosing the No Action Alternative in its Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. Submit your comment today to defend the Brooks Range.

If approved, Ambler Road will cut through the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve, 1,200 river crossings, thousands of acres of wetlands, and caribou migration pathways. Fifteen species of boreal birds found along the proposed Ambler Road corridor, including the Blackpoll Warbler and Olive-sided Flycatcher, already face significant declines across their ranges and would be further harmed by the massive development. 

We must defend this iconic Arctic landscape from the destructive open-pit mines, disruption to migration routes, and water contamination that would all result from this decision. Take action today and urge the Bureau of Land Management to choose the No Action Alternative to stop Ambler Road.
