Hi John,

Few places on Earth are more central to preserving the wild than the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Yet Trump's anti-wildlife puppets in Congress just took a hammer to this invaluable landscape with their lust to drill, drill, drill.

The Center for Biological Diversity will do all we can to stop it.

Please help by giving today to the Future for the Wild Fund. Thanks to generous donors, all gifts will be matched.

Home to imperiled polar bears, caribou, ice seals, migrating birds and many others, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most pristine landscapes on Earth.

But it's also been a target of Big Oil for decades.

Now Congress has moved forward on mandating four more oil leases there. This would destroy the Refuge as we know it — and worsen the extinction crisis.

Right-wing congressmembers have also taken aim at Cook Inlet, near Anchorage. They're forcing six oil lease sales, putting fragile endangered beluga whales at risk from seismic testing and oil spills.

Elsewhere in Alaska a ban was also removed on a 211-mile mining road that would stretch across the vast, unspoiled wilderness of the Brooks Range. The road intersects with the migration paths of declining caribou.

And in Minnesota 225,000 acres of federal land will be opened up to sulfide mining, an attack on the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area that threatens the habitat of endangered Canada lynx.

These areas belong to the public, not private industry looking to profit from destroying our natural heritage.

To stop extinction and save the species we love, we must protect the lands that belong to all of us — and keep habitat for polar bears, caribou, lynx, and other rare and vanishing wildlife intact.

We're taking legal action at our fastest pace ever in defense of nature — and we won't slow down.

Please help now with a matched gift to the Future for the Wild Fund.
