Take Action for Arctic Caribou, Wild Sheep, and Indigenous Communities

Our federal government is taking the first step to allow hard rock open-pit mining just outside Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve in Alaska—a wild and undisturbed home to herds of caribou, Dall sheep, countless bird species, and a critical source of sustenance for local Indigenous communities.

The proposed Arctic Mine Development Project would require expansive roads and development, made worse by the impacts from heavy industrial-scale mining operations, traffic, aircraft, and noise that will disrupt and harm water, wildlife, and local communities.

Send a message opposing mining in this pristine Alaska wilderness and urge the federal government to safeguard Arctic wildlife and Indigenous communities from mining.

I am opposed to the Arctic Mine Development Project. A proper evaluation of the entire scope and cumulative impacts of the proposed mine, including the associated proposed Ambler industrial road, by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will show that the mine should not be approved.

The proposed Arctic Mine Development Project would result in unacceptable impacts from the development of industrial-scale mining operations, traffic, aircraft, and noise that would disrupt and harm water, wildlife, and local communities.

The environmental review must include the impacts of roads, infrastructure, and related development on caribou, Dall sheep, and other native wildlife populations, Indigenous and rural Alaskan subsistence practices, and Tribal sovereignty and self-determination.

Mining should be prohibited in and near this pristine Alaska wilderness and I urge you to safeguard against the harmful impacts mining would have on Arctic wildlife, Indigenous communities, rural Alaskans, and people visiting or recreating in this area. Thank you.

Sincerely,
