The State of Alaska and international mining companies are determined to break Alaska’s Brooks Range – beginning with the creation of an industrial road to the proposed Ambler mine and potentially massive mining district. To support the mining industry, the State of Alaska aims to cut right through the heart of beautiful Northwest Alaska and establish a massive industrial corridor that will devastate the water, landscape, biodiversity, and Alaska Native lifeways. But our bond to this place is deeper than any ore. And together, we can stop them from breaking ground.
This road would be an irreversible blow to the Brooks Range. The road itself would be massively disruptive and open the floodgate to widespread destructive mining operations across the iconic region.

All Risk No Reward
The proposed Ambler Road would cut through one of our nation’s largest and wildest public landscapes. These millions of cherished wild acres support one the greatest caribou herds left on Earth, a way of life for the region’s Alaskan Native peoples, and world-class hunting, fishing, and recreation. All this would be sacrificed so that foreign mining companies could exploit the region and squeeze profits from Alaskan land. During a time when key Alaskan institutions desperately need funding, wasting state money on foreign mining companies is effectively prioritizing outside interests over the will and general well-being of all Alaskans.
