Biden’s recent climate change actions in Alaska and California
The Biden Administration reversed oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), earning praise from environmental advocates and Alaska Native wildlife and subsistence hunting protectors.

Plus, a preview of what could be an historic marine sanctuary set-aside initiated by the Chumash Tribe in California.
