I. What is the ANWR? 

Example:

The ANWR is a 19 million acre wildlife refuge located in NE Alaska. It was established by Congress in 1960 with the goal of protecting wildlife populations and habitats. Another goal of the ANWR is to allow native peoples to continue living within the boundaries of the wildlife refuge. In 1980, the ANWR expanded to its current size. 

The 19 million acres that the ANWR owns are divided into three sections. 10 million acres are considered to be minimal management, which means that these 10 million acres are completely natural. 8 million acres are also natural wilderness, but these 8 million acres allow activities as long as they do not disturb the environment. The remaining 1.5 million acres are referred to as the 1002 Area. These 1.5 million acres stretch along the coast and get their name from the law that separates them from the other eighteen million acres of wilderness. 

Within the 19 million acres of the ANWR there are more than 12 rivers. The wilderness also contains many different mountains. More than 45 species of land and marine animals live within the boundaries of these 19 million acres, including different species of bears and caribou. Endangered species are also living within the ANWR, such as the musk ox. There are over 200 species of birds that make their home in the ANWR, including eagles and snow geese. 

The true wilderness of the 19 million acres of the ANWR makes an ideal home for many different species of wildlife, and we should continue to do all we can to protect and keep those 19 million acres as wild and natural as possible. (273 words.)
