The United States has been interested in the oil available in northwestern Alaska since the early 1900s. Drilling there disturbs the habitat of animals that are already having difficulty surviving because of the difficult terrain. Although big businesses still encourage drilling, studies have shown that the oil gained from the oil rigs in Alaska would have little benefit for the future of our economy.
If drilling is allowed to continue in the ANWR, we can expect those species living there to become extinct in the near future.
