Abstract

The Biden administration has proposed new protections to limit oil drilling in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve, aiming to safeguard land and conservation efforts before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. This move follows other recent actions by President Biden to restrict oil and gas development on federal lands and waters. The proposed special area designations would cover over 3 million acres of the reserve, which is home to valuable wildlife and is important for Alaska Natives' subsistence activities. While this initiative has been praised by environmentalists, it has faced criticism from oil advocates and companies with interests in the reserve, such as ConocoPhillips and Santos Ltd.
