[natgeo] Today the Trump Administration announced it would begin selling oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which has remained both a wilderness and home to the Gwich’in people for millennia.
The region is known for its braided rivers, which filter down through the Brooks Range, creating miles of habitat for caribou, seen here in the midst of shedding their winter coats. The refuge is one of the few wildernesses large enough to allow caribou to migrate seasonally without encountering major barriers, such as roads and pipelines.
