title: Protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Blog | Jeff Fair
description: Jeff Fair is a loon biologist and award-winning writer who has lived and worked in Alaska for more than 30 years, including 16 trips in the Teshekpuk Lake area and two on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He co-authored a 2002 Audubon Alaska report on the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska, and his fieldwork with yellow-billed loons in Arctic Alaska led to the species’ current “warranted but precluded” status for Endangered Species Act listing, making it a candidate species for future listing.
