TAKE ACTION

Here is how you can help protect America's Arctic today!

Let The New Administration Know America's Arctic Is More Valuable As Protected Public Lands

The outgoing Biden Administration recently concluded the second of two Congressionally-mandated lease sales for oil and gas development inside the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Zero bids were received.

This is great news for the diverse wildlife in one of the planet's most pristine and critical landscapes. But the push for energy development in America's Arctic is far from over.

Let the new Trump Administration know that you value America's Arctic Refuge (ANWR) and Western Arctic (NPR-A) public lands for more than just private profits.

Follow the steps below to email your elected representatives and let them know you support protecting America's Arctic.

Email subject: Please safeguard the Arctic Refuge and Western Arctic

I am writing to express my concern for fossil fuels infrastructure development in the ecologically sensitive North Slope of Alaska, and to ask that you take every possible measure to safeguard the Arctic Refuge (ANWR) and Western Arctic (NPR-A). What happens in America's Arctic impacts everyone on Earth. It is vital to global biodiversity, rich Indigenous history, and the successful mitigation of severe climate impacts. America has a responsibility to protect this pristine and sensitive region for the wellbeing of our planet and future generations.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]
