Take Action



Don't let the BLM remove protections on arctic habitat on behalf
of oil and gas companies!

Take Action!

Dear Defender of
Wildlife,

The world's most endangered polar bear population is about to
have some new neighbors: a wave of massive, deafening Big Oil
machinery.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is planning to undo protections on
habitat that critically imperiled polar bears in the Southern Beaufort
Sea population need to survive.

The reason? Oil companies want to move in and start developing on
protected lands - and they're not letting the threat of
killing off these polar bears get in the way of their profits.

Tell the BLM: Don't betray critically imperiled polar bears for
oil money!

The National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPRA) contains more than
petroleum: It's also some of the most important wildlife habitat
in the world. Ice seals, caribou, migratory birds and more all have
important habitat currently protected in the NPRA.

And of course, it's home to the Southern Beaufort Sea population
of polar bears, a population already deeply impacted by climate
change-driven sea ice loss.

Oil and gas development is already a major culprit for habitat loss.
But letting those companies set up shop in this protected habitat
could be a deathblow to these struggling polar bears.

Polar bears need our help - Sign today to stop this attack on
their home!

The BLM has already acknowledged in its own draft environmental impact
statement that oil and gas companies cannot completely eliminate the
negative impact their development will inflict on polar bears.

The writing's on the wall: If the BLM approves more oil and gas
leasing in the NPRA, polar bears could die. Don't let them get
away with doing Big Oil's bidding and stripping vulnerable
wildlife protections!

Defender of
Wildlife, we have to ask how far
we're willing to let oil and gas companies go as they devastate
species after species in the hunt for profits.

Alaska's wildlife is worth more to Americans than pleasing Big
Oil shareholders. Tell the BLM today: Do your duty and protect our
wildlife!

It only takes a moment to sign. Stand up to the BLM for polar bears
and arctic wildlife!

Thank you for all you do to protect our most vulnerable wildlife from
the threat of extinction and habitat loss.

Sincerely,

Nicole Whittington-Evans
