As this blog reported back on July 25, the Delta National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana was in danger of being exposed to oil from the recent spill on the Mississippi River in Louisiana.

The refuge was created from a 100,000-acre purchase of the Baca Ranch, but the U.S. Fish and [...]

In 2004, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Doyon corporation reached an initial agreement to trade 110,000 acres of refuge land at Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska — plus subsurface title to another 97,000 refuge acres — for approximately 150,000 acres owned by Doyon.

As I reported in this blog back on January 20, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has performed an environmental analysis that would allow a Canadian firm to drill for natural gas in Baca National Wildlife Refuge, which is in southern Colorado and within a few miles of the Great Sand Dunes National Park.
