Trump approves Ambler Road project through Alaska wilderness to boost copper, zinc production
Published: , in Outdoor News
President Donald Trump on Monday, Oct. 6 ordered approval of a proposed 211-mile road through an Alaska wilderness to allow mining of copper, cobalt, gold and other minerals.
The long-debated Ambler Road project was approved in Trump’s first term, but was later blocked by the Biden administration after an analysis determined the project would threaten caribou and other wildlife and harm Alaska native tribes that rely on hunting and fishing.
