Dear Defender of
Wildlife,

A new oil development in Alaska threatens to turn key habitat for
polar bears, ice seals, whales and more into a massive industrial
zone.

The development proposed by oil giant, ConocoPhillips, would build a
huge oil field with hundreds of oil wells that would impact critical
polar bear habitat and currently protected lands in the Teshekpuk
Lake Special Area.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently released their Draft
Environmental Impact Statement on the development, but they're rushing
to authorize it as quickly as possible, with little regard for the
impacts to wildlife.

Tell the BLM: Don't turn a blind eye to wildlife!

Here's why we're worried about the BLM's impact statement:
The current administration is trying to shrink Special Areas that
protect wildlife to facilitate even more oil and gas drilling in the
Arctic.

This statement comes as the BLM is revising the overall management
plan for the area to expand drilling and reduce protected areas. Its
priority is to support more oil and gas development, not to conserve
wildlife, and that's affecting its assessment of projects like
the Willow development.

We need to stand up and make sure this agency is giving wildlife its
due. Tell the BLM: Do your job and protect our wildlife and wild
places!

Your voice is critical to making sure the public is included in this
process and that the true impact of these oil and gas developments is
being considered.

We can't let the BLM gloss over the impacts and jeopardize the
well-being of irreplaceable Arctic wildlife like polar bears, whales
and seals. Speak up today!

Don't let our wildlife and wild places fall victim to fallout
from oil and gas development. Sign our petition right now!
