Alaska's wild and rugged Western Arctic Reserve is home to diverse wildlife, from polar bears to caribou to ice seals and more — and it contains some of the most ecologically important places in the Arctic.
But President Donald Trump wants to open 8.7 million more acres of the reserve to fossil fuel development.
And, he wants to gut regulations meant to minimize the harms of drilling where it's already allowed.
That could transform this one-of-a-kind landscape into an industrial oil field while unleashing more climate chaos.
We're fighting back to protect this ecosystem and all those who live there.
