The Brooks Range achieved a historic win in the spring of 2024. The Biden administration formally acknowledged the best path forward is no Ambler road, which would have carved through Alaska’s Brooks Range region to facilitate a devastating industrial mining district in northwest Alaska.
Scientific review supported local concerns that the road would harm Athabaskan, Inupiat, and Yup’ik cultural and subsistence resources, Arctic wildlife, and the diverse ecosystems that sustain salmon fisheries and caribou herds.
Please join us in thanking the Biden administration for defending this special place and Indigenous peoples’ way of life.
