Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Would Undermine Protection for All Our Wildlife Refuges
- "The most troubling thing about the prospect of oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge isn't the despoliation of a pristine tundra landscape, argues law professor Robert Fischman. It's that such drilling threatens to undermine protections for the whole national system of wildlife refuges, 95 million protected acres dotted from Florida to Hawaii, from Arizona to Alaska, providing habitat for more than 250 threatened and endangered species." - excerpt from the Grist Magazine email from 4/12/05 referring to the article at http://www.grist.org/comments/soapbox/2005/04/12/fischman/index.html?source=daily
