flag Ten groups sue Interior Department over loss of federal protections for 2.1 million acres of Alaskan land, citing violations of conservation laws and threats to wildlife and subsistence rights.

flag Ten environmental and Indigenous advocacy groups have sued the U.S. flag Interior Department over its February decision to strip federal protections from 2.1 million acres of Alaskan land, transferring management to the state. flag The move, made without public comment or hearings, opens the area to mining and industrial development, including the proposed Ambler Road, and undermines long-standing conservation laws. flag Plaintiffs argue the action violates federal statutes, weakens safeguards for wildlife and subsistence hunting, and prioritizes corporate interests over public and environmental health. flag The lawsuit, filed in Anchorage, seeks to restore protections and halt development on ecologically sensitive lands.
