A foreign mining company and an Alaska economic development agency want the U.S. Department of Interior to approve a 200-mile private industrial mining road across pristine public lands in Alaska’s Brooks Range. The road would cut through the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve, harm one of the greatest caribou herds left on Earth, and bulldoze a route through nearly 3,000 streams. The project is opposed by many Alaska Native communities and Tribes in the region, who rely on the salmon, sheefish, and caribou.
Add your name to this petition and urge the Secretary of Interior to revoke the permits for the proposed Ambler mining road.
We, the undersigned, urgently call upon you to safeguard the heart of Alaska by revoking the permits for the Ambler Industrial Access Road.
Reasons for our plea:
We firmly urge the Biden administration and the Department of the Interior to champion the defense of the Brooks Range.
We beseech you, for the sake of Alaska's unique ecosystems and the communities that rely upon them, to revoke the permits for the proposed Ambler road.
Thank you for your consideration.
