Leaving the refuge intact in all its mysterious beauty is vital to the survival of this unique ecosystem.
In his essay, Peter Matthiessen pains in living color the glorious profundity of life encountered on an expedition at the refuge. Fran Mauer examines the full range of Arctic and sub-Arctic ecosystems found here. William Meadows recounts the Wilderness Society's role in creating the refuge and helping to protect it for over forty years. Debbie Miller profiles native Gwich'in and Inupiat families, by choice still tied to the land for survival despite the pressures they face. George Schaller recounts the first expedition that led to the creation of the refuge. David Allen Sibley experiences the wonder of the Arctic coastal plain aflutter with nesting birds from all six continents. Each comes to the same conclusion: The refuge is an abundant and critical habitat that would be irreversibly destroyed if exploited for oil.
