URGENT: A historic plan to protect Arctic wildlands is under
attack by Big Oil.

Tell the Biden-Harris administration to stand strong against
fossil fuel pressure and protect the Western Arctic Reserve.

Dear NRDC Activist,

This is a critical moment in our
decades-long fight to protect Arctic wildlands:

President Biden’s Interior Department is
now accepting comments on its historic proposal that would
protect 10 million acres of wildlands in the Western Arctic
Reserve from oil and gas drilling.

But the fossil fuel industry has launched
an intense campaign to kill these vital protections, and we
urgently need your help to fight back.

Urge Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to
protect wildlands in the Western Arctic Reserve from the oil
industry’s unrelenting push to drill. ( [link removed] )

As soon as the Interior Department
announced its plan to protect the Western Arctic, Big Oil went
into full-on attack mode, decrying the protections as “misguided”
and denouncing them as “a step in the wrong direction.”

But the only wrong direction would be to
allow oil companies to plunder our last remaining wild places for
profit… shackle us to a future of dirty fossil fuels… and drive
us further and faster toward climate chaos — especially in a
region that is warming four times faster than the rest of the
world.

Tell the Biden-Harris administration to
protect America’s Arctic from dirty fossil fuel development
before it’s too late. ( [link removed] )

For centuries, wildlife and Indigenous
communities have relied upon the ecological treasures of the
Western Arctic Reserve, including places like:
* Utukok River Uplands, where calving
grounds support the Western Arctic Caribou Herd, vital for 40
Indigenous communities
* Teshekpuk Lake that is where millions of migratory birds from
all seven continents use these wetlands for nesting habitat
* Colville River, where you’ll find the densest population of
wolves on Alaska’s northern coastal plain
* Kasegaluk Lagoon, where endangered beluga whales calve offshore
in one of the largest unspoiled lagoon systems in the world

These irreplaceable wonders may not survive the
industrialization that comes from drilling. Decades after the
Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska, some species still have not
recovered.

But that doesn’t seem to matter to the fossil
fuel industry. As we speak, oil giants like ConocoPhillips are
barreling ahead with massive new drilling projects in the Arctic
— but you can help stop them.

Submit your urgent comment now and tell Secretary Deb Haaland
that you’re counting on her to finalize stronger protections for
Arctic wildlands as soon as possible. ( [link removed] )

This is a rare chance to break the fossil
fuel industry’s stranglehold on America’s Arctic and put an end
to its century-long exploitation of these magnificent public
lands.

Thanks for submitting your comment today.
