Seven new national parks in Alaska were established on this day in 1980. The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act extended varying degrees of protection to over 157 million acres of public lands, doubling the size of the national park system. From ice-covered peaks to turquoise fjords, countless glaciers, forests, tundra, rivers and wildlife were added to the state’s conservation jewels.

ANILCA fue considerada una de las victorias del movimiento conservacionista más importantes en la historia de Estados Unidos, pero muchos alaskeños la interpretaron como la culminación de años de extralimitación del gobierno federal. (...) un grupo de manifestantes de la ciudad quemó una efigie del presidente Jimmy Carter, quien, en 1978, decretó 22.662.395 hectáreas del territorio de Alaska como monumento nacional. En 1979, residentes de las poblaciones cercanas al parque organizaron la Gran Invasión de Denali e irrumpieron en el parque disparando, provocando incendios y cometiendo otros actos de protesta.
