Show Notes
In a significant shift, the Dalton Corridor in Alaska, once protected for over fifty years, is now open for energy and mineral projects. This move, fulfilling a statehood act promise, has sparked a lawsuit from ten environmental groups, alleging violations of environmental laws and lack of public input. Experts warn of harm to caribou herds, ecosystems, and local communities. The Tanana Chiefs Conference also criticizes the lack of tribal consultations. The case is set to go to court.
