ACTION ALERT: Protect the Arctic

TAKE ACTION: [link removed]



The National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, also known as the Western Arctic, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge support some of the most important bird habitats on the planet. Join the more than 16,000 advocates who’ve already taken action to ensure these invaluable places are safeguarded.

The Arctic Refuge and the Western Arctic serve as a nursery for tens of millions of the world's migratory birds. Yellow-billed Loons, Snow Geese, Tundra Swans, and hundreds of other species, like caribou and polar bears, rely on these landscapes.

The U.S. Department of the Interior has opened two comment periods to advance meaningful conservation and climate action within the region:

1. A much-needed environmental impact statement formally recognizes the conservation needs and Indigenous rights within the Arctic Refuge.
2. A new conservation rule would further protect, and possibly expand, the Western Arctic’s designated Special Areas.

If approved, these two actions would be historic wins for the Arctic, advancing conservation at unprecedented levels.

Let the Department of the Interior know that you support maximizing protections for the ecological and cultural values of the Arctic.

The lands and waters of the Arctic are vital. The Arctic Refuge is the largest national wildlife refuge in the United States, and the habitats of the Western Arctic support Important Bird Areas of global importance. From Pectoral Sandpipers in South America to Spectacled Eiders in Asia, migratory birds from around the world come to these landscapes to raise their next generation.

The Arctic Refuge and Western Arctic are like nowhere else. Protecting them will benefit the Indigenous communities that rely on them, as well as countless species of birds and other wildlife.

Take action today to ensure the Department of the Interior strengthens conservation and protects Indigenous ways of life within America's Arctic.
