The Department of the Interior is seeking public comments on a rule that will protect 13 million acres within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The Arctic Coastal Plain alone is estimated to be the breeding grounds for almost 8 million waterbirds and is vital to other migratory species and Indigenous communities. Meet the awe-inspiring journey of Pectoral Sandpipers as they migrate around 9,000 miles to the Arctic regions of America. By actively participating in efforts to safeguard these critical nesting areas, we are taking steps to ensure the preservation of this wilderness for generations to come. Your valuable insights can have a meaningful impact on the conservation of America's Arctic. We encourage you to share your thoughts during the ongoing public comment period, accessible here: www.protectthearctic.org/corn...
