In the 1950s and 1960s, conservationists, business leaders and political leaders - many of them Republicans - worked together to create one of America's great wilderness treasures, ANWR, in northeast Alaska. Today, the future of ANWR is fiercely debated as conservationists push for additional legislative protection from development - and the oil industry and their allies push for oil drilling. Carey has been a front-row witness to these ongoing debates. |
