Dear NRDC Supporter,

Last week, the Trump administration announced they plan to offer up 1.56 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas companies — a move that would devastate one of the planet's last truly wild places.

NRDC has been defending the Arctic for more than 40 years — and we are in court today in a case that began in 2020 — all to stop industry's greed-fueled incursion into this wild, irreplaceable landscape. We'll continue to protect this special place and all who depend on it... as long as it takes.

Will you make a gift to NRDC today to help defend the Arctic Refuge from the Trump administration's sell-off and protect our nation's pristine wilderness from coast to coast?

This Arctic Refuge firesale threatens polar bears, caribou herds, migratory birds, and countless other vulnerable species that depend on the Refuge for survival. And drilling there would unleash massive amounts of new carbon pollution, accelerating the climate crisis at a moment when we can least afford it.

The Arctic Refuge is not a commodity. It's not a bargaining chip for politicians or a payday for Big Oil billionaires. And it is not for sale.

It's a sanctuary for wildlife. A vital carbon sink that helps stabilize our climate. And a sacred homeland for communities who have lived in harmony with this land for generations. It's part of a shared national trust, and we cannot allow it to be carved up for profit.

Our planet, our wildlife, and our future are all on the line.

Please consider a gift to NRDC today. Your support will power our ongoing work to defend the Arctic, protect wildlife from fossil fuel destruction, and safeguard our environment on all fronts.

The Trump administration's push to open our Arctic wilderness does not stop at the Refuge. It is also clearing the way for fossil fuel allies to expand in the Western Arctic Reserve in order to build more and massive drilling projects, like the already approved Willow project.

With your support, NRDC is working to stop this Big Oil onslaught in the Arctic. Together, we can protect this extraordinary place and keep the Arctic wild for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Bobby McEnaney
Director, Land Conservation, NRDC
