Take Action!

Defender of
Wildlife,

The science is impossible to ignore.

Seismic oil exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a
direct and deadly threat to polar bear moms and cubs. The Arctic
Refuge is home to the most imperiled polar bear population in the
world - and we cannot afford to lose one more of these bears.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is asking for your comments on its
new report about seismic testing activity and polar bears in the
refuge. Tell them the science is clear: Big Oil's invasion of
the Arctic Refuge is too dangerous!

We must prevent oil and gas exploration and development in the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge!

The Arctic Refuge coastal plain is the most important denning habitat
for polar bears in the United States. The critically imperiled
Southern Beaufort Sea polar bear population is dependent on this
habitat for survival. With the continuing loss of sea ice, pregnant
bears increasingly use it for maternal denning.

Seismic exploration can harm and even kill denning mother bears and
their cubs. And that's just the exploration phase.

If industrial development of the Arctic Refuge moves forward, it will
turn this serene wildlife-rich habitat into a steel and gravel
spiderweb of pipelines, roads, airstrips, drill rigs, gravel mines and
other infrastructure spanning hundreds of miles.

Sign to tell FWS: Evidence shows that Big Oil's invasion of the
Arctic Refuge will have deadly consequences!

Climate change has already created new obstacles to survival for polar
bears and other Arctic wildlife. Safeguarding critical polar bear
habitat is one of the most important things we can do to give these
animals a chance to survive.

Take the opportunity to tell FWS not to ignore the mounting evidence
that Big Oil's planned invasion spells doom for wildlife in the
Arctic Refuge!
