Polar bears are in trouble. The Trump administration is trying to force through oil and gas drilling and seismic testing in the Arctic Refuge -- the heart of polar bear territory. Help save endangered polar bears and all who call the Arctic Refuge home: Make a tax-deductible year-end donation and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar!
In the Arctic, wildlife is being forced to adapt to a climate that’s changing twice as fast as any other region on the planet. Species are struggling to survive these rapidly changing conditions -- perhaps none more than the endangered polar bear. The entire species is threatened, but the Southern Beaufort Sea population -- found largely in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- is one of the most imperiled groups of polar bears in the world.
Now, Trump wants to give oil and gas companies free rein to run over polar bear denning territory with massive industrial trucks and heavy machinery for drilling and seismic testing.
This heartbreaking disaster could begin as soon as January. That’s why we are doing everything we can to stop it.

Polar bears are already struggling. As sea ice vanishes due to climate change, polar bears are drowning and starving to death. This particular population of polar bears, known as the Southern Beaufort Sea population, has already declined by 40 percent in recent years.
As the ice melts away, polar bear mothers are increasingly forced onto land, to the coastal plain, to build their dens. On land, they are particularly vulnerable to disturbance while denning -- disturbances like 90,000-pound vehicles conducting seismic testing in a grid pattern across their habitat, thumper trucks, tractors, and bulldozers operating 24/7, paving the way for oil extraction and climate change that would destroy their habitat forever.
If the Trump Administration gets away with this move, it could mean the end of the Southern Beaufort Sea polar bears.
Stop Trump’s attack on polar bears before it’s too late. Give a year-end tax deductible contribution to Friends of the Earth.

Trump’s latest and last-ditch attack on the Arctic Refuge violates the rights of Indigenous people, threatens iconic wildlife like endangered polar bears, and locks in catastrophic global climate change impacts in one of the most sensitive and vulnerable ecosystems in the world.
Trump is doing everything he can to lock in his “Extinction Plan” before he leaves office. Since losing the election, he has only escalated his assault on the Arctic, ordering his administration to proceed at a record pace, auctioning off oil and gas leases, pushing for offshore and on-land extraction, and working to give Big Oil a blank check to destroy the Arctic forever.
We’re not going to let Trump destroy our wild places and wipe out endangered wildlife on our watch. And we’re also going to ensure President-Elect Joe Biden does everything in his power to protect these species and special places.
These are the fights Friends of the Earth was born to win. Just this month, we helped stop the Liberty Hilcorp project, which would have allowed offshore drilling to devastate Arctic waterways. We are fighting every lease sale one by one, and we are using legislation and lawsuits to ban all new attempts at drilling in the Refuge.
But we need your help to make it happen. If 75% of the people reading this email donate today, we’ll reach our fundraising goal. We can’t do this without you, John.
Time is running out to make your tax-deductible 2020 gift. Save polar bear mothers and cubs: Donate $27 or more and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar -- up to $809,000!
