This learning resource explores the contentious issue of whether the United States should drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska. Established in 1980, the ANWR was created to protect the natural environment and its wildlife. However, the increasing demand for oil has prompted debates over the potential benefits of drilling, such as economic gains, job creation, and energy independence, versus the environmental risks and conservation of natural habitats. The resource includes documents from various perspectives, vocabulary terms related to oil drilling and environmental protection, and critical thinking questions aimed at assessing and understanding the complex implications of drilling in this pristine wilderness.
