Urge the Biden administration to reject permits for the Willow Project that threatens arctic wildlife and habitat!

Oil companies are tearing apart our environment while they reap record profits – but we can still take action to save wildlife in danger right now in the Arctic!

ConocoPhillips plans to make the climate crisis much, much worse with a proposed massive oil and gas extraction effort known as the Willow Project. This project would industrialize thousands of acres of fragile Arctic habitat in the heart of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (Reserve) – habitat that is critical to the survival of threatened polar bears, as well as caribou, migratory birds and more.

The Biden administration must now decide whether to issue a final permit that will pave the way for the Willow Project to unleash 250 million metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere over the next 30 years.

Save Arctic Wildlife: Urge the Biden administration to reject permitting the Willow Project and defend critical wildlife habitat in the Reserve!

Greetings,

The western Arctic’s National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (Reserve) is the largest federal land management unit in America and contains some of the highest wildlife habitat values in the circumpolar Arctic.

The proposed massive Willow development will further the climate and biodiversity crises and directly impact imperiled polar bears and their critical habitat.

BLM has an obligation under the Naval Petroleum Reserve Production Act to maximally protect surface values and should deny the Willow permit based on climate and biodiversity impacts that threaten wildlife, such as threatened polar bears and other ice dependent wildlife species, local communities and the globe.

Facilitating massive oil and gas developments in sensitive and critical wildlife habitat in the Arctic is counter to the administration’s commitments to mitigate climate impacts and will further threaten biodiversity.

Instead, the administration should be doing everything it can to protect this sensitive region and its globally significant wildlife habitat to mitigate and curb the impacts from these crises.

Sincerely,
