The Ambler Road is a proposed 211-mile industrial road through Alaska’s Brooks Range to access copper and cobalt mines. Over 60 Alaska Native communities would face restrictions on their subsistence practices — hunting, fishing, and gathering that are central to their way of life. 89 Tribes and First Nations have passed resolutions against it. Environmentally, the road will cross over 3,000 streams and rivers , disrupt the migration of the Western Arctic caribou herd, and open one of the largest intact wilderness areas on Earth to industrial development. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
