I wholeheartedly agree; protected designated area are important for us and future generations.
Once a designation has been made, there should be no modifications. Considerations and threats to drill in ANWR and Gates of the Arctic National Park - and other fragile land (and waters) is unacceptable, and Trump's mention of drilling in Yosemite National Park and/o others demonstrates his shortsighted, greedy, wreckless and disregard for OUR land - that should be protected forever, and for OUR future generations; NOT the present generation to get rich on. Tourism is renewable - and Alaska's 3rd largest industry and growing. Why F*CK that up with drilling if all you want is $$$$$$$$$ ???????
