Subject: Finally road through Izembek denied by Sally Jewell!!

 

Below is a thank you letter written by David Raskin, Officer of Friends of
Alaska Refuges,  who has been instrumental in providing scientific
information to those of us who are not scientists to aid us in writing
letters to USFWS with reasons to deny this road--like other issues this had
gone on for years!!!.  He has worked tirelessly with the Alaska coalition,
at times with meetings of all the CEOs of Environmental groups--at the end
they were weekly and I was able to attend some by conference call.  This is
the best example of science proving a road was not necessary with all the
damage it would do to global, prime habitat for so many waterfowl, resident,
migratory, and eel grass beds--science and facts never stopped big business
as now we have drilling in the arctic ocean above the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge--SO I CONSIDER THIS WIN HUGE.

 

Sierra Club was involved and we in Iowa need to write Sally Jewell a thank
you letter too.  Her address is listed and in David's letter are a number of
facts you can rely on to be right.  Hope every IA Sierran will celebrate
this win for pristine wilderness and thank her.  Phyllis
