Subhankar Banerjee works closely with conservation
and indigenous human-rights organizations to help preserve the ecologically and culturally
diverse areas of the American Arctic. His Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
and Teshekpuk Lake Wetlands images were used extensively by members of the United States Senate and House
of Representatives, environmental and indigenous human-rights organizations in preventing
legislation that would allow oil drilling on these sensitive areas. Banerjee collaborates
closely with members of the following organizations.
