Editorial
New geological information has reduced the attractiveness of a land exchange between the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge and Doyon Ltd., so the regional Native corporation might avoid a fight with environmental groups and some of its constituent villages about that specific issue.
However, the proposed land exchange revealed an unfortunate level of public opposition to any oil and gas development, even on the company’s own private lands within the refuge’s boundaries. A fight might be unavoidable.
