The Trump administration’s plan to lease the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas companies puts Arctic wildlife and communities in deadly peril. The threatened Beaufort Sea polar bear population could lose critical habitat to an industrial invasion of oil machinery, jeopardizing these bears’ survival.
Thanks to pressure from Indigenous community leaders, conservation partners and activists, all but one of America’s biggest banks have committed not to fund any new drilling projects in the Arctic.
We need as many supporters as possible to reach out and effectively pressure Bank of America to committing to pull its money out of the Arctic – a critical move toward protecting polar bears, migratory birds, and countless other Arctic species currently in danger.
Please take a moment to join Defenders in standing up to protect Arctic wildlife right now!
