Safeguard the Brooks Range

The Administration has just approved a revised application for the Ambler Road Project, marking another hurdle cleared for the 211-mile industrial corridor through Alaska's Brooks Range--one of the most wild and iconic hunting and fishing destinations in North America. 
  

If constructed, the Ambler Road will greatly compromise the health of the 110-mile-long Kobuk River, part of the National Wild and Scenic River System and home to world-class sheefish fishing; result in irreversible impacts on the declining Western Arctic Caribou Herd, which provides subsistence hunting opportunities for the Alaskan community; and, will affect opportunities for hunters who travel from around the world to pursue these caribou while infusing dollars into local economies.  
 

In 2024, the Bureau of Land Management denied the project's right-of-way permit, recognizing the unacceptable risks to fish, wildlife, and wild country. October 7th's approval reverses that decision and moves this controversial project one step closer to reality. 
 

BHA and our partners remain steadfastly opposed to this development and are committed to conserving the Brooks Range's fish, wildlife, and backcountry opportunities--values that make this landscape truly irreplaceable. 
  

Ask your elected officials to oppose legislative and administrative actions that would advance the Ambler Road and cause irreparable and unnecessary damage to one of America's last truly wild landscapes.
