Marty Essen was recently featured in an Op-Ed column in the Buffalo News. Addressing the issue of drilling in ANWR and the impact on the wildlife, he comments on the important role of this part of Alaska in maintaining the natural balance:
"The Gwich'in Athabascan Indians call the coastal plain the "sacred place where life begins" for a good reason. Not only is it the birthing ground for nearly 40,000 caribou calves each year, but it's also where more than 50 species of migrating birds hatch their chicks. Many of those birds will migrate to a park, forest or body of water near you."Drilling here could have a huge impact on pre-existing wildlife.Marty has more to say on the topic and you can read about it here.To learn more about his interest in animals, take a peak at his book - Cool Creatures, Hot Planet.
