Izembek National Wildlife Refuge
Stop the road through the refuge
Izembek National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most remarkable places in Alaska. This 300,000-acre coastal wilderness has sweeping eelgrass beds, tundra, and volcanic landscapes that sustain more than 200 species of wildlife. It is the heart of global migration for birds like Pacific black brant and emperor geese, and a crucial winter home for the Southern Alaska Peninsula caribou herd. Few places on Earth bring together this much ecological richness in such a wild, intact landscape.
But this refuge is at risk. A proposed road would cut through its wetlands and wildlife habitat, threatening the birds, caribou, and fragile ecosystems that depend on this place. It would also set a dangerous precedent for opening other protected lands to development.
What's At Stake
Wildlife everywhere
Izembek Lagoon
KEEP FIGHTING
A road through the heart of Izembek would slice through wetlands, fragment critical habitat, and open the door to development in one of America’s most important refuges. Approving it would set a dangerous precedent that threatens protected public lands across Alaska and the nation.
