At this critical moment for Alaska’s national parks and wildlife, please listen to the will of the people and say no to the Ambler mining road. Ensure language forcing the approval of the Ambler Road is not included in a final National Defense Authorization Act this year.

The Ambler industrial mining road would slice through the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve and threaten the survival of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd. The caribou herd is one of North America’s largest and undertakes the longest land migration of any creature on Earth each year through Alaska’s roadless and intact lands and waterways.

More than 87% of Americans support protecting Arctic caribou from mining development.

Over 20 million acres of national parklands would be negatively impacted by this private mining road. Just as significantly, 66 Alaska Native Tribes would be permanently affected, risking the lives of vulnerable community members, community food security, and cultural continuity for future generations.

The BLM received more than 135,000 comments in opposition to the road during its recent public comment period, and 82% of public testimony delivered at public meetings in Alaska opposed the road.

This is a road to speculation that would only cause ruin for the parklands and people of Northwest Alaska. Please ensure Congress does not pass any bill that would force the Ambler Road to move forward.
