Hi John,
Trump just ordered the giveaway of Alaska to Big Oil — including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
If Trump gets his way, our most treasured pristine wilderness and critical habitat for endangered species will be turned into an oilfield.
The Center will do all we can to stop this horrific assault.
Please give now to the Future for the Wild Fund. Thanks to a generous champion of wildlife, all gifts by March 31 will be matched.
Last week Interior Secretary Doug Burgum moved to open up the entire 1.56-million-acre coastal plain of the refuge to oil and gas leasing.
And he didn't stop there.
He did the same thing for more than 80% of the Western Arctic Reserve along the North Slope of Alaska — an area spanning more than 23 million acres.
It could turn a precious, vast swath of our last great northern wilderness — home to polar bears, caribou herds, wolves and hundreds of species of migrating birds — into a wasteland of oil wells, gravel roads and pollution.
This is the Project 2025 nightmare becoming a reality.
First Trump issued an executive order based on a bogus energy emergency. Then he appointed Big Oil cronies to lead agencies like the Interior Department.
Now he's put a "For Sale" sign on the majestic Alaska wilderness that should be the legacy we leave to our children.
Launching massive fossil fuel projects and oil extraction in Alaska flies in the face of reason.
The Center will keep fighting to protect polar bears, ice seals, caribou and other vulnerable species — as well as the natural landscapes and biodiversity we love.
We're talking legal action nearly every three days in defense of the natural world, and we won't slow down.
Because the forces we're up against are so ruthless, please start a monthly donation to sustain our defense of the natural world.
For the wild,
|
