Grizzly and polar bears, caribou, rare birds, and other wildlife species rely on public land in the Western Arctic. These sensitive areas are also home to dozens of Indigenous communities. But ConocoPhillips and other fossil fuel companies just see millions of acres of land for climate-busting oil and gas drilling.

Last year, oil and gas leasing was halted across 10 million acres of the Western Arctic.

Scientists know that the Arctic region is warming more than four times faster than the rest of the world, so stopping drilling here is a key step to avert climate catastrophe. Tell the Trump administration to protect the Western Arctic from dirty fossil fuel development before it’s too late.
