The Red Dog Mine near Kotzebue, Alaska, can tell us a lot about what is in store for our rural Alaskan communities if the Ambler Access Project is to go through. This remote community in northwest Alaska is the most polluted one in the country due to extractive industries moving in next door. The impacts of the Red Dog Mine thus far have been devastating, and long-term negative impacts are to be expected. Alaska isn’t for foreign mining companies and outside interests to destroy- it belongs to Alaskans. #roadless #climatechange #pollution #noamblerroad #climatescience

More than 20,000 people took action against the Arctic mine during the scoping period—and every single person and comment counts. We are so grateful that you all showed out, got involved, and made sure that the public opposition to development in the Brooks Range is loud and clear.
We want to make sure that everyone who cares about the Brooks Range can take action, so click the link in our bio to sign up to be a part of our community and be notified the next time you can take action over development in the Brooks Range. #alaska #brooksrange #noamblerroad #northwestalaska #arctic

LAST DAY: Stop Destructive Mining in the Arctic!
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is advancing the Arctic Mine Development Project, a large open-pit mine at the end of the proposed Ambler mining road in northwestern Alaska.
The proposed 211-mile private industrial road would cut through Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve and other wildlands, divide the migration route of the Western Arctic Caribou herd, cross nearly 3,000 rivers and streams, dam tundra wetlands, and interrupt traditional Alaska Native ways of life. More than eighty Tribes and First Nations have passed resolutions against the project, and local communities along the proposed route have overwhelmingly opposed its construction.
The Arctic Mine is dependent on the disastrous Ambler Road, and could itself have significant impacts on water quality, fish and wildlife, subsistence uses, and local communities.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO TAKE ACTION.
Intact landscapes free from extractive industry, clean water, healthy caribou and salmon, and the communities that depend on keeping Alaska the way it is are all at risk, and you can make a difference today in less than one minute.

Alaska’s wilderness is worth more than what can be extracted from it.
The Ambler Road would create a 211-mile industrial route connecting the Dalton Highway to the Ambler Mining District. Approximately 26 miles would cross National Park Service lands. Its purpose is mining access.
But the consequences would reach far beyond the road itself. Rivers, wetlands, caribou migration routes, and the communities that depend on them are connected. The Bureau of Land Management’s 2024 environmental analysis identified risks to fish, the Western Arctic caribou herd, and access to traditional foods.
Tanana Chiefs Conference and Protect the Kobuk are among those opposing the road. They are defending hunting and fishing, cultural traditions, and the ability of future generations to live from these lands. Alaska Native communities hold different views on this project; these voices of opposition deserve to be heard.
Keeping the Brooks Range intact means protecting wildlife habitat and clean water while respecting the people who have called these lands home for generations. These are living landscapes, not empty spaces waiting to be developed.

The Arctic mine is the first proposed mine in the Ambler Mining District, and the permitting process for the mine is a way for industrialization and extractive industry to move into the Brooks Range—including the Ambler road.
Now, you have the chance to use your voice to make your concerns about this development known. Caribou, Indigenous communities, salmon, clean water and air, and the future of the Brooks Range are all at stake.

Please help me and @npcapics defend the Brooks Range! Visit either of our bio links for the action page to voice your strong opposition to the Arctic Mine Project Proposal and Ambler Road. The comment period is only open for a few more days - help us say no to the Ambler Road! #NPCApartner @defendbrooksrange #DefendTheBrooksRange #noamblerroad
I have spent years documenting the decline of Western Arctic Caribou in Alaska. The Ambler Mining Road and Arctic Mining Project would bulldoze over Gates of the Arctic National Preserve, traditional Alaska Native homelands, 3,000 rivers and streams and one of earth’s longest animal migrations- the incredible 2,700 mile journey of Alaska’s Western Arctic Caribou. Over the last 30 years, Arctic caribou populations have experienced a 65 percent decline. An industrial mining complex and the private Ambler mining road would be devastating for the people, animals and landscape of the Brooks Range. Follow the link in my bio and help us say no to the Ambler Road!

Trump approved the Ambler Road. We still oppose it.
The proposed 211-mile industrial road would connect the Dalton Highway to the Ambler Mining District. About 26 miles would cross National Park Service lands in Gates of the Arctic National Preserve.
The proposed Arctic Mine would rely on the road to move mineral concentrates out of the region.
On October 6, 2025, Trump approved the road appeal and directed federal agencies to issue authorizations.
That decision does not make Alaska’s wild landscapes, wildlife or Indigenous homelands expendable.
Tanana Chiefs Conference opposes the road and has called for respect for Tribal sovereignty.
Stand with the Indigenous communities fighting to protect their lands, waters and subsistence.
Their concerns belong at the center.
Right now, the Army Corps of Engineers is taking scoping comments on what the Arctic Mine environmental review must examine.
Demand a full assessment of the connected impacts of the mine and road on water, wildlife, subsistence and communities.
Ask about meaningful alternatives, long-term water treatment and accountability if safeguards fail.
Submit a comment at https://defendbrooksrange.org/take-action by November 2, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Alaska time. This is the mine’s environmental review, not a new road-permit vote.
The fight for the Brooks Range is not over.
No Ambler Road.
