John,

Alaska contains 23 million acres of important habitat for iconic species like polar bears, caribou and birds who migrate to six continents — even, maybe, to your own backyard. Yet the Bureau of Land Management has just taken a dangerous step toward approving a massive oil development on this priceless public land.

The Western Arctic is no place for industrial fossil fuel development. [link removed]

This proposed development, called the Willow Master Development Plan, is the single largest oil and gas extraction project currently proposed on U.S. public lands. In addition to threatening the region’s wildlife, it would cause oil spills and toxic air pollution, harming Indigenous communities on Alaska’s North Slope. And in the midst of the ever-growing climate emergency — already hitting the Arctic hard — if the project is fully developed, it would release so much carbon pollution that it would jeopardize our chance of meeting national climate goals.

Tell the Biden administration: For our climate future and the people and wildlife of the Arctic, this disastrous project must be stopped once and for all. [link removed]
