Hi John,
Polar bears, caribou, seals and other Arctic wildlife just got sold out by the administration.
The Willow project approved by Biden will destroy Alaska's Western Arctic.
We'll be going to court to ensure not one new oil well is built there.
Please help with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the planet.
Yet the administration just approved a project that will desecrate the Alaskan landscape, worsen the extinction and climate crises, and devastate local communities.
The Willow project targets the largest undeveloped area in the United States, a landscape the oil industry wants to cover in hundreds of miles of roads and pipelines and puncture with nearly 200 new oil wells.
It's the last thing we need.
This giveaway to Big Oil was first approved by Trump, and we and our allies immediately challenged it in court. A federal judge sided with us, tossing out the approval because it didn't follow science or properly consider the staggering risks to climate and polar bears.
But the Biden administration turned its back on the planet and greenlit Willow anyway. The profound costs to biodiversity and the climate from Willow should have made this project a nonstarter.
You can't say you care about wildlife and the natural world while rubberstamping massive fossil fuel projects and oil extraction in the Arctic.
We won't let polar bears and other imperiled species be sacrificed, and public lands spoiled, just to pad the pockets of greedy corporate interests.
We're gearing up to fight with all we've got, and we need you with us.
Please help now with an urgent gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
For the wild,
