John,
Unless the public speaks out in protest, a 211-mile industrial road will be bulldozed through interior Alaska — ripping through one of the largest wild areas in North America, including Gates of the Arctic National Park.
Stop this travesty: Urge the Biden administration to halt the Ambler Road. [link removed]
The project, which will build across 2,900 streams and permanently destroy 1,400 acres of wetlands, was illegally pushed through in the final days of the Trump administration. The road threatens one of the greatest annual land migrations left on Earth: the movement of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd, which has been in steep decline since 2003. It also threatens the way of life of Indigenous communities, who have lived in the region for thousands of years, by threatening the wild resources they depend on.
And who would benefit from all this destruction? Private mining companies that want to develop a vast, new industrial mining district in one of the planet's last great wild areas.
Tell federal officials to immediately halt this destruction. [link removed]
