[[link removed]]Imagine if the land around you began to vanish, getting smaller and less
inhabitable every moment. Areas where you once roamed freely are now sinking in,
breaking off into fragments and disappearing into a mass of nothing but open
ocean.

You’re a fantastic swimmer, but you’re not meant to live your entire life in the
water. So with your habitat rapidly disappearing, you’re running out of places
to rest, reproduce, and feed, making it much harder for you to survive.

If you haven’t guessed it yet, Friend, you’re a polar
bear in this scenario. This is the reality that vulnerable polar bears in the
Arctic are facing. The fragile Arctic region is melting TWICE as fast as the rest of the world, and experts predict it could be totally ice-free within the next 31 years! This is BAD NEWS for the endangered Southern Beaufort Sea polar bear
population, the most imperiled polar bears in the world, with only 900 remaining.

And to make matters worse, the Biden administration has just given Big Oil a
massive dirty energy handout by permitting increased oil and gas drilling in the Arctic, disrupting sensitive polar bear habitats with toxic noise, air, and water pollution. We still have a chance to STOP the fossil fuel industry from pushing these
vulnerable animals to EXTINCTION -- but only if we apply enough public pressure on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
to reject this rule. We’re urgently counting on activists like you to step up and help save Arctic
polar bears from Big Oil and Gas. Will you take action now before it’s too late?

[[link removed]]Friend, how long will we let the FWS appease the fossil
fuel industry and put Big Oil profits above our polar bears and our planet?

Big Oil’s corporate greed is already responsible for the worsening climate
crisis, and now the government is allowing it to harm and potentially kill innocent polar bear cubs while further industrializing the bears’ sensitive habitat for oil and gas
profits.

Moreover, this rule is a violation of the Marine Mammals Protection Act, the
National Environmental Policy Act, and the Endangered Species Act!

In fact, the FWS itself has already confirmed that there’s a 95% probability that this new oil and gas activity will cause serious injury or death to polar bears. And yet, the agency has FAILED to hold Big Oil accountable for putting these vulnerable animals at risk. But environmentalists like you won’t stand for any more dirty energy handouts,
will you, Friend? Protect our polar bears and demand that
the FWS reject oil and gas activity in the Arctic NOW! >>
