The Biden administration has initiated a plan to restrict oil drilling in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve as part of an effort to protect the area before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. This move includes the designation of new special areas that limit drilling across over 3 million acres, adding to existing protections. Environmentalists hope these measures will safeguard critical habitats and challenge Trump's anticipated expansion of oil development in federal lands.
