But that’s not stopping oil giant ConocoPhillips from continuing to build its disastrous Willow Project, which will turn polar bear habitat into an industrialized oil and gas field.
Even a SINGLE oil and gas-related polar bear death could impede this fragile population’s recovery. Our Emergency Flash Match ends at MIDNIGHT tonight. Donate now, and your gift will be matched 4X to fight back.
Heavy equipment can crush polar bears in their dens or potentially scare mothers and cubs out too early, leaving them vulnerable to death from exposure or starvation. Noise created by oil operations disrupts polar bear behavior and increases their stress.
We will not stand by while Big Oil is allowed to harass and threaten some of the world’s most imperiled polar bears. Can polar bears count on you?
Defenders of Wildlife is on the front lines fighting to stop the Willow Project while also litigating the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regulation that allows oil and gas companies operating in the area to harass polar bears.
Midnight Deadline: Donate, and your gift will be matched 4X. If Willow proceeds, it will have devastating, irreparable impacts on polar bear habitat.
Thank you for caring so much about wildlife.
Sincerely,
