Good news: The Biden administration recently took a huge step toward maintaining protections for 28 million acres of public lands across Alaska.

Losing these safeguards would open sensitive areas to destructive mining and oil and gas drilling. That includes lands within Alaska’s Bristol Bay, where we’re already fighting to stop the Pebble Mine and other proposed mining projects.

Tell the Biden administration to finalize these vital protections for Alaska’s public lands — before it’s too late.

Two weeks ago, the Supreme Court overturned the Chevron Deference, a bedrock legal precedent established in a case NRDC argued 40 years ago.

This terrible ruling will weaken the government's ability to protect us from climate change and other threats to our health and environment — and make it easier for polluters, pesticide companies, and other corporate bad actors to challenge critical environmental laws in the courts in front of unaccountable and potentially biased judges.

RSVP to join us this Tuesday, July 9, for an exclusive NRDC webinar with NRDC President Manish Bapna and our legal experts about this historic ruling and learn how NRDC will continue taking on the fossil fuel industry and others threatening communities across the country.
