Right now, the Biden administration is weighing whether to go ahead with a mining road that would slice through the Brooks Range in Alaska, including part of Gates of the Arctic National Park. Their first step is asking about the public’s concerns. This is our chance to make our voices heard.
The proposed Ambler road would cut through 211 miles of northwestern Alaska, threatening fisheries and Western Arctic caribou that are important to Alaska Native communities. Key bird habitat would be in the line of fire, too. And the road would enable the development of hard-rock mines that history suggests are likely to spill hazardous waste materials into the surrounding environment.
Thank you,
