In the final weeks of the Trump administration, the Interior Department is rushing to sell off our natural resources as fast as possible - and they’re putting America’s endangered polar bears in grave danger.

The Interior Department just announced they’re calling for oil companies to buy drilling rights on up to 1.5 million acres of the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in habitat that endangered polar bears need to survive.  

President-elect Biden has pledged to protect the Arctic wilderness and its wildlife – but we need to stop the oil rush today, before there’s nothing left to protect!

Help stop the Trump administration’s greedy sale of critical Arctic habitat. Make your emergency gift to protect polar bears, caribou and other wildlife!

The land that the Interior Department is trying to sell off in the Arctic Refuge is home to one of the most endangered populations of polar bears in the world, the Southern Beaufort Sea population.

These polar bears depend on the security of the habitat provided by the Arctic Refuge, but only an estimated 900 bears in this population survive – less than half as many bears as just twenty years ago.

The danger is clear: Big Oil’s invasion of the Arctic Refuge could deal a lethal blow to these bears that are already struggling to survive.

We’re fighting for Arctic wildlife, and we need your help! Pitch in to help save the wildlife who need us right now!

Defender, the last four years have seen unspeakable damage done to America’s wildlife and wild places. And it’s entirely possible that the next 10 weeks will see some of the most appalling acts of destruction yet.

Until the Arctic Refuge and its wild inhabitants are protected once and for all, we need to pull out all the stops to keep them safe. Are you with us?
