A 211-mile industrial road through the heart of Alaska’s untouched wilderness has just been approved by the Trump administration. If built, it will cut directly through critical habitat for some of North America’s most iconic animals—including grizzly bears, wolves, moose, migratory birds, and the Western Arctic Caribou Herd.

The proposed Ambler Road would forever scar one of the last truly wild places left in the United States. It would open the door to industrial mining across the southern Brooks Range, turning a thriving, intact ecosystem into a traffic corridor for trucks and heavy equipment.

Wildlife experts and Alaska Native communities warn that the impacts would be devastating:

• Caribou herds could be blocked or scattered during migration
• Bear and wolf populations could shrink due to habitat loss and noise
• Salmon-rich rivers could be polluted or disrupted
• Birds that migrate across continents could lose nesting grounds

Over a dozen Alaska Native governments and the Western Arctic Caribou Herd Working Group have issued formal opposition. They depend on these animals for food, cultural survival, and a way of life tied to the land. Their voices are being pushed aside in favor of a foreign-owned mining company—and millions of taxpayer dollars are being pledged to support it.

We have a chance to stop this before bulldozers roll in. Once the road is built, the damage cannot be undone.

We urge President Trump to rescind approval of the Ambler Road and protect the irreplaceable wildlife of the Brooks Range. The animals who call this wilderness home cannot speak for themselves, but we can.

If you believe grizzlies should roam free, caribou should migrate undisturbed, and wild places should stay wild, please sign this petition today.

Let’s protect this land—for them, and for future generations.
