We’re working on a set of stories about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. There’s been a fight over the future of this area for decades, and Congress opened up oil and gas development there in late 2017.

This story was too big and too complex for our main Arctic series. So we’re giving it the time it deserves in its own miniseries. 

And we want you to participate.

We want to hear your personal, on-the-ground experiences in ANWR. When were you there? What did you see, hear, do? What did it make you feel? Did the experience surprise you in any way? How? We'd especially love to hear from people who live in Kaktovik and/or any of the communities in that region.

You can call in anonymously. Any and all voices are welcome -- whether your experiences in ANWR were good, bad, a mixture -- we just want our listeners to get a sense of what it's like to be there.
