Interior report flags wildlife risk from Arctic refuge drilling
A 78 page Interior Department assessment finds Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal plain oil development could threaten caribou musk oxen and migratory birds. The review, by U.S. Biological Survey and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service scientists, notes risks but does not endorse or reject development. Secretary Norton has claimed risks can be mitigated with protections.
