...The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a national wildlife refuge located in the northeastern part of Alaska. It consists of over 19 million acres in northeast Alaska. It is run and controlled by the Fish and Wildlife Service in the Department of the interior. Its 1.5 million acre coastal plain located on Beau Fort Sea is currently viewed as one of the biggest and most likely next US onshore oil and gas prospect. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1960 to protect and maintaining its’ naturally maintaining area of arctic and sub-arctic ecosystems. In 1971, congress enacted the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act to resolve all Native aboriginal land claims against the US. It provided monetary payments and also created Village Corps. In 1980, Congress enacted the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act which include several sections about ANWR. The Artic Range was renamed the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Section 1002 of ANILCA directed a study of the coastal plain, which is now known as the 10-02 area, which I will talk about later. The main objective is to protect and maintaining its naturally maintaining area of arctic and sub-arctic ecosystems. This refuge is home to a wide variety of plants and animals. There are many different species of big game that roam this area, there are 36 fish species, 36 kinds of land mammals, over 160 bird species and 9 marine animals, which include: caribou, polar bears, grizzly bears, wolves, migratory birds...

...In the northern part of where we live, only 272 miles away, lies a national refuge containing huge herds of caribou, polar bears, musk ox, and many more animals. All these animals have lived on those lands before the creation of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in 1960. It is a place where people can come and see all these creatures that are not seen very many other places. Although we all love this refuge, there are still some people that want to destroy it by putting drills in it and even after losing 50 times they keep trying over and over again. Unfortunately, these animals are losing their homes to a huge drill for oil. There is a lot of controversy over whether drilling should be allowed in this national refuge. Proponents...

...below ground level. Other miners feared that the thirty-three miners still inside the mine were in the disaster zone when the collapse happened. The workers that were trapped had to have been scared not knowing if they were ever going to be able to see loved ones again. For 16 days, the workers had no communication from the outside world, and no way for the outside world to communicate back to them. Fear, itself is scary, but fear and being trapped had to be scarier. The miners had no clue as to what was being done to get them out safely, nor did they know if anyone was even working on getting them out. On the 17th day of being trapped down in the mine, the rescue workers had drilled a small bore hole that had reached the miners’ refuge. From the refuge, the workers sent up a message telling rescuers and everyone around...

...Should the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Be Opened to Oil Drilling? SCI207 Dependence of Man on the environment July 11, 2010 Abstract The rising cost of gas has been a great debate for consumers and congress. Currently the price of gas is between $2.71 to 3.39 depending on what state you live in. Consumers are finding it more and more disturbing that gas is increasing what is it going to take to make the prices decrease? Is oil drilling here in the United Stated the best thing to do? Oil Drilling has been a topic for our government for years. It seems that the debate is that oil should be drilled hear in our United States. Some have stated that oil drilling would be costly. But it would also reduce the amount we consumers spend on gas. If drilling was to take place there is an area in Alaska where the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is. I hope to show the positive side of oil drilling in Alaska and the negative affects it will have on oil drilling. Currently, I understand both sides of drilling oil but it is not fair to kill off wildlife if oil drilling could be possibly found in areas where there aren’t any wildlife would be good or if the government could provide proof that if oil drilling was to take place that the wildlife would not be hurt. As we look at both sides of why to drill and why not we can explore just what seems to be the big problem we and what the decision should...

...Q1 what are the annual cash outlays associated with the bond issue? The common stock issue? Bond Issue Q2 Analyze and respond to each director’s assessment of the financing decision. Leo Staumpe believes that MPIS is an excellent buy that will offer tremendous revenue synergy and cost reduction opportunities. Board of directors also agrees with the assessment; the only decision is on the mode to secure funding for the acquisition. Two options available to secure a funding of125 million are for the funds are: 1. Issue bonds for 125 million at 6.25% interest rate and 15 year maturity. Annual principal repayment will be 6.25 million, leaving 37.5 million outstanding at maturity. 2. Issue 7.5 million additional common stocks at the price of $17.75/share. During the board meeting, there was no consensus on the mode to secure the funding. While Andrea Winfield and Joseph Winfield thoughts that issuing stock is a better option; Ted Kale, Joseph Tendi, and Naomi Ghonche did not prefer the approach of issuing stock. James Gitanga, the newest addition to the board was apparently in favor of raising long term debt through bonds. Here is each director’s assessment of financial decision and our response to that: Andrea Winfield Andrea thinks that stock issuing has a lower cost. Issuing a bond will result in additional cash outlay of 6.25 million per year as principal repayment. Andrea is reacting to the long term lease of 15.8 million (exhibit 3) and feels that additional cash...

...Here, President Jimmy Carter emphasizes the importance of preserving the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for future generations. In his essay, "Foreword to Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and Land, A Photographic Journey by Subhankar Banerjee," Carter persuades his audience that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should not be developed for industry. He proves this by employing a variety of tactics, including factual evidence and personal anecdotes, all while maintaining a credible account. Carter builds a convincing, logical argument through the use of facts and statistics. He writes in the fifth paragraph, "In 1960,...

The Service’s history spans nearly 140 years, dating from the establishment of its predecessor agency, the Bureau of Fisheries, in 1871. First created as an independent agency, the Bureau of Fisheries was later placed in the Department of Commerce. A second predecessor agency, the Bureau of Biological Survey, was established in 1885 in the Department of Agriculture. In 1939, the two Bureaus and their functions were transferred to the Department of the Interior in 1940, They were consolidated into one agency and redesignated the Fish and Wildlife Service by Reorganization Plan III (Fish and Wildlife Service, n.d., p. 1). The Fish and Wildlife Service’s works to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats.

...I would like to answer this ethical question in the beginning of this case of study. Oil drilling in the National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) should be allowed, for the benefits of residents have should take the place of the avails of animals or the protection of natural uninhabited and the natural home or environment of an animal. The benefits and advantages of human beings should supersede the interests of other creatures and the the action of preserving of natural wildernesses. In the matter of fact, the U.S. Congress needs to leave politics aside, if that is possible, and allow searching and drilling for oil on all U.S. territories, including the National Wildlife Refuge. The United States bring a majority of the oil into the country from abroad...

...To Drill or Not to Drill Aloma Chase HUM/111 03/10/2013 Jennifer Beaman To Drill or Not to Drill Alaska drilling in the ANWR refuge is a controversial debate because of the issues which are associated with destroying the wilderness. The ANWR is located in the “North Slope area of Alaska and eight million acres of this selected segment of the landscape is in the National Wilderness Preservation System, which is intended to protect pristine and untouched land areas” (Burley, 2010, p.1). Drilling for oil in the ANWR will destroy the environment; endanger the caribou herds, birds, and other wildlife. However, the opposing viewpoints contend that it would provide jobs, help with our oil supply, and not destroy the land. Examining other alternatives for energy shortages in the United States would prevent the destruction of the ANWR and other protected habitats. Renewable sources of energy like solar energy, and wind power would not affect the environment or cause pollution. The dependence on oil and other fossil fuels needs to be curtailed, so, the Alaska Refuge is not destroyed. Additionally, “each year oil operations on Alaska’s North Slope emit more than 70,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, which contribute to smog and acid rain” (National Resource Defense Council, 2010, p.1). Toxic oil spills kill the plants and vegetation, air pollution caused from drilling and emissions affects the air quality, and hazardous waste contaminates the water supplies. The drilling on...

...Whatever the reason someone seek refuge to another country, there is always that dilemma that involves the whole aspect of relocating. Among the earliest to arrive in the United States were thousands of Italians fleeing an 1887 cholera epidemic, Russian and Polish Jews sought refuge from anti-Semitic pogroms in the 1880s. The majority of people left their homelands after industrial pressures left them few job opportunities. So many immigrants arrived that by 1890 nearly 15% of the American population was foreign born (Barnes, L. & Bowles, M. (2014). Today people are still seeking refuge for specific reasons. Haitians seek refuge for security reason, and other countries seek refuge for economic and health reasons. When I was growing up, my...

...What is the ANWR? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a national wildlife refuge in north-eastern Alaska, States. It consists of 19,286,722 acres. It is the largest National Wildlife Refuge in the country. It was established in 1960. What is a wild life refuge? A wild life refuge is a place which gives animals the space and freedom they need to feed themselves and raise their young. Because the land is protected they can do these things without clashing with people. Where is the ANWR and why is it being preserved? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a national wildlife refuge in north-eastern Alaska, States. The reason why it is being preserved is because Robert Marshall in 1938 was able to understand how we would change the habitats of animals and destroys them to get the things we need like oil. So he proposed a ‘permeant American Frontier’ that would preserve a big chunk of Arctic Alaska wilderness. In the 1950’2, people who were worried about habitat loss and pollution proposed to Congress for that same frontier. In 1960, Congress created the refuge. When did they discover oil in Alaska and how much is estimated to be there? They discovered the oil i9n Alaska in 19870 at Prudhoe Bay it supplied two million barrels of oil a day. However as time has gone on the amount of oil that is in the Bay has decreased and is getting lower and lower each year, this has then lead to the U.S government having to find new oil supplies and one of these is in the ANWR....
