Within that region, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 19.3 million acres, the largest in the National Wildlife Refuge System, and the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska covers roughly 23.6 million acres, making it the single largest undisturbed tract of public land in the United States.In December, 20 businesses and organizations <a href="https://www.backcountryhunters.org/outdoor_companies_join_bha_in_opposing_arctic_drilling?e=f7636a83666f9b47162a5f674128dfdc&utm_source=backcountryhunters&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=arctic_refuge_eo&n=3" target="_blank">sent a letter</a> to congressional and administrative leaders emphasizing the importance of Alaska’s Arctic North to fish and wildlife as well as hunters and anglers.Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is the voicefor our wild public lands, waters and wildlife.</blockquote>
