This is not a future threat. This is happening right now. Since returning to the White House, Trump has repeatedly rolled back protections and given public lands to corporate polluters, cutting public input and weakening safeguards to make it easier for oil and gas companies to drill.
What's at stake
Over 23 million acres of fragile tundra, wetlands, and wildlife habitat could be leased to oil and gas companies.
Habitat that protects caribou, migratory birds, and other wildlife are now at risk.
Indigenous communities that depend on these lands for subsistence and culture face unprecedented threats.
Opening this land to fossil fuel extraction locks in decades of carbon emissions, fueling climate change.
What Sierra Club is doing
Grassroots mobilization: Our activists nationwide are working to defend these lands by pressuring Congress and the administration to stop this exploitation.
Community support: We're amplifying the voices of Alaska Native communities and other frontline groups.
Policy advocacy: We're pushing lawmakers to block or reverse harmful decisions and secure long-term protections.
