Tell President Biden’s Bureau of Land Management you want stronger protections for the Arctic Refuge
The Biden administration canceled illegal oil and gas leases issued by former President Trump that would have allowed drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge – but this victory won’t protect the Arctic Refuge forever.
President Biden’s Bureau of Land Management recently released a draft management plan for the Arctic Refuge, but the plan needs to put in place deeper protections against the destruction caused by future fossil fuel development.
The agency is inviting public comments on its plan – but only for the next two days. This is our opportunity to fight for better protections of the Arctic Refuge against future oil and gas drilling.
The Arctic Refuge is home to birthing caribou and migratory birds and provides a key denning ground for America’s polar bears. The Gwich’in people rely on lands in the Arctic Refuge for their livelihood. And blocking drilling in the Arctic Refuge is critical to reducing our dependence on dirty fossil fuels driving the climate crisis.
Please make your voice heard before the November 7 comment deadline in defense of the Arctic Refuge.
