Northern Alaska is a vital habitat for long distance bird migrants who thrive in its untouched wilderness. The Bar-tailed Godwit is one such shorebird that nests and raises its young in the vast wetlands. America's Arctic stands as one of the planet's few remaining pristine wildernesses, playing a pivotal role in safeguarding the survival of countless long-distance migratory travelers. Recent actions by the Department of Interior have further highlighted the importance of this region by protecting 13 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. By safeguarding America's Arctic, we are not only preserving the homes of incredible wildlife but also ensuring the continued health of our global environment. Let's unite in our quest to #ProtectTheArctic and secure a sustainable future for America's Arctic and all the life it shelters. Public comments on the new protections are being collected now.
