The Ambler Road to Ruin Grinds On
The Road to Ambler is a remnant from Governor Sean Parnell’s ill-conceived...
Alaska Native people have lived and thrived in the Arctic since time immemorial. Alaska’s Arctic region provides key habitat for wildlife, including caribou, polar bears, waterfowl, and an array of animals that rely on it for food, protection, and as the birthing, nesting and nursery grounds for their young.
Oil and gas drilling, mining, and industrialization pollute the land, water, and air, disrupt migration routes, degrade wildlife habitat, diminish people’s access to traditional foods and activities. Drilling for and burning fossil fuels accelerates the climate crisis in a region where sea ice and permafrost are melting faster than ever.
Trustees for Alaska fights to protect the Arctic by providing free legal counsel to clients and strategic leadership for coalitions to defend the health of the region and its resources. This work includes holding public agencies accountable to their obligations under the law.
