A foreign mining company just got the green light to carve an illegal private road through one of America’s last wild national parks - closed to the public, open for profit.
The Ambler Road would slice 211 miles through Alaska’s Brooks Range, across rivers, tundra, and caribou migration routes, to reach a speculative copper mine owned by foreign investors.
It was already rejected last year after an exhaustive review found “significant adverse impacts” that would violate federal law.
Eighty-nine Alaska Native tribes opposed it.
Eighty-two percent of public testimony opposed it.
The permits were denied.
Trump overturned that decision this week with a single executive order - sidestepping ANILCA, the Clean Water Act, and every legal safeguard that stood in the way.
If they can carve an illegal road through a national park, they can do it anywhere.
