- Army Corps faces suit after approving road through Alaska wildlife refuge
Conservation organizations sued the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers over its approval of a 19-mile road through Alaska's Izembek National Wildlife Refuge. The plaintiffs allege the Corps violated environmental laws by failing to consider alternatives and impacts to wildlife. The road, named King Cove Road, aims to connect a village to a larger airport but faces opposition due to ecological concerns.
