## Resource

Alaska is poised to break ground on a 19-mile unpaved road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge — a move that could revolutionize emergency access and economic opportunities for the remote village of King Cove, but has ignited fierce legal and environmental opposition. Conservationists and Native tribes argue the project threatens endangered species like the Steller’s eider and vital migratory habitats, challenging the Army Corps’ permit under federal law. With lawsuits pending and a federal judge’s decision looming, the future of this controversial road hangs in the balance — and the clock is ticking.
