The Northern Arctic Preserve
The Arctic will be designated a preserve. It shall remain permanently protected from oil drilling and unsustainable fishing.
Why is this important?
The Arctic is a unique place inhabited by creatures like polar bears and whales, full of magnificent vistas, and home to people who maintain the traditions of their ancestors. For millennia, it has remained untouched by oil-drilling or industrial fishing. We want to keep it this way. We see the big picture - we do not want short term interests ruining something so special and valuable.
