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.)
