Hi John,
The Biden administration turned its back on wildlife when it greenlit the Willow project earlier this year.
We immediately sued to stop it, but a federal judge just allowed Willow — the single-largest oil and gas development project on U.S. public lands — to proceed.
We'll be appealing that decision in court. We're not going to give up or slow down our fight to save the Arctic.
Please stand with us by making a gift today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. Thanks to generous donors, all gifts will be matched.
President Biden failed to take into account the true cost of this disastrous project.
Willow would mean drilling up to 199 oil wells. It would mean hundreds of miles of ice roads and pipelines, along with gravel roads, an airstrip and a gravel mine.
Polar bears, already facing starvation, will be pushed closer to the brink. Caribou, seals, migratory birds and other species will also be harmed.
And the climate costs are staggering. Willow will pollute the climate with more than 239 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over 30 years — as much as nearly 2 million cars.
Not one new oil well should be built in Alaska's Western Arctic.
Scientists are clear: To avoid irreversible climate devastation, we must end all new fossil fuel projects and immediately begin to phase out production.
The Center is doing everything we can to protect polar bears and other vulnerable species, as well as the natural landscapes and biodiversity we love so much.
The Western Arctic has to be protected — not turned into on oilfield.
We won't let polar bears and other imperiled species be sacrificed, and public lands spoiled, just to pad the pockets of greedy executives and shareholders.
We'll keep fighting to save this landscape and its wildlife — and we need you with us.
Please help by making a matched donation now to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
For the wild,
