If you had read the articles about the situation, you'd see that a normal
helicopter can only lift about 800 lbs max at that altitude.
And the heavy-duty models that they use for logging and heavy machinery
re-location are VERY expensive.

Here's one article on the situation:

After reading it, everyone should have a better understanding as to exactly
precarious the situation is.
The big issue is that any further damage to the tundra is gonna get them in
more trouble.
