Alaska's Izembek Wildlife Refuge: Biden Administration's Latest Move.
TL;DR
The Biden administration has withdrawn a land-swap deal that would have allowed a road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, originally protected under President Jimmy Carter. The move helps preserve Carter's environmental legacy, but stops short of the complete rejection of a road sought by some environmentalists and Carter himself. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland outlined her position in a legal brief filed Tuesday in the litigation over Izembek in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
