FILE - In this undated file photo provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, an airplane flies over caribou from the Porcupine caribou herd on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeast Alaska. Decades-long political and legal battles over drilling in America's largest wildlife refuge took another turn when the Biden administration suspended oil and gas leases in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The move Tuesday, June 1, 2021, was a blow to oil and gas proponents, who came as close as they ever have to starting a drilling program after the refuge was expanded 40 years ago to include the oil-rich coastal plain.
