Alaska has a large wilderness – very few people and lots of animals and wildlife. (polar bears and wolves).  It has been protected.  Oil companies have discovered that there is oil there under the snow.  For many years, there have been arguments and protests to stop the oil drilling.  Now Trump has ignored the protests and given permission to drill for oil.  Many people are angry.
