than a decade, debate over drilling for oil on the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge [ANWR] has continued unabated." This is the opening line of the introduction to the commonly encountered ethical paradox of economic interests versus moral interests. This paradox is steadfastly centered through the debate of oil drilling on the Coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

With this bill comes this are being considered as wilderness and Alaskans are not happy with the bill at all. Many of the people who are Native to this are feel as if they have been disrespected or unconsidered. The text states, “Mr. Walker, generally a soft spoken lawyer, said he was angry and frustrated at least in part by feeling
In this article, the authors explore the economics of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska and the effects of drilling for oil there. They discuss the importance of private property rights, as does the article by Dwight Lee, To Drill or Not To Drill, and explore how the government has restricted the industry by deciding how natural resources are to be used. According to the article, drilling in ANWR is supported by those who want to decrease domestic dependence on foreign energy sources
Thank you for contacting me about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with me. A comprehensive energy strategy for America requires that we increase our domestic oil supply and refining capacity while moving toward energy independence and the development of alternative and renewable sources of energy in the long run. Using today's technology, ANWR provides an opportunity to develop new, short-term resources with minimal environmental
in learning and researching how vegetation has changed with urban sprawl and increased agriculture. Increased technology is changing the way we use the landscape. My summer research dealt mainly with vegetation species. Hailstone National Wildlife Refuge has experience severe impacts from anthropocentric influences. Remediation efforts have repaired the site. I think that working in a location that has been remediated has given me a desire to research how humans can more efficiently use the landscape
Why is it important to use more than one source when researching a topic? When learning about any topic, it is highly likely that one will encounter bias. Bias can change a person’s views on a topic if they are not careful or able to recognize that the source they are viewing contains bias.

My summer internship takes place at Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge in Boynton Beach, Florida. This organization focuses on conservation and resource management, including fire, invasive species, and water management, and protecting indigenous species in response to increased urbanization around the refuge. As a summer intern at the refuge, I will be a member of the biology team. As such, I will primarily be conducting invasive species surveys and helping with the removal
This case study concerns possible oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) on the north slope of Alaska’s Brooks Range adjacent to the Gwich’in reservation. This could put the Porcupine Caribou Herd at risk and possibly jeopardize the food source and traditional culture of the Gwich’in people (Pg. 129). However, as fossil fuel sources begin to run out, Americans seem to feel entitled to drill for oil anywhere there is a reserve, even when that means sacrificing the greater good
