Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Debate

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Debate There are many arguments on both sides of the debate over whether or not to drill for oil in ANWR. Located in the northeast corner of Alaska, 90% of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) has been protected since Congress passed a bill in 1980.

Places like ANWR, untouched by humans and r! uled by nature, are so rare and should be cherished. After all, what beauty would there be if humans developed every acre of the world? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** none
