One of our concerns is legislative change which is hurting the environment. Senators are currently trying to pass a package of laws, one of which will exploit the Alaskan wilderness for oil drilling.
From the WWF:
Often called 'America's Serengeti' because of its abundant caribou, polar bear, grizzly bear, wolf, and other wildlife populations, the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge represents the last 5 percent of America's Arctic not already open to development. Oil drilling would transform this ecological treasure trove into a vast oil field with roads, pipelines, sewage plants, drilling pads, and housing for thousands of workers.
