The U.S. Department of the Interior has opened over 2 million acres of land in Alaska for resource development, following the revocation of two Public Land Orders by Secretary Doug Burgum. This decision aligns with previous executive orders by President Trump aimed at enhancing Alaska's resource potential.

The lands include the Dalton Utility corridor, impacting projects like the Alaska LNG pipeline. The move has drawn mixed reactions, with Alaska's Congressional delegation supporting it and environmental groups expressing concerns over wildlife and habitat protection.
