Protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

An endangered species.

Dear Katalusis readers,


We must continue our efforts to protect our beautiful world by protesting human thoughtlessness and greed.

I just signed a letter asking the Obama administration to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The Arctic Refuge’s Coastal Plain, where polar bears den and raise their cubs, and the 100,000-member Porcupine caribou herd migrates and calves, is a truly unique, wild place. It’s also an area that has been in Big Oil’s sights for decades. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could offer a recommendation for true wilderness-level protection to the Coastal Plain for the first time in history– we need to be sure they include that recommendation in their 15-year management plan’s final draft.

Will you join me and sign the letter to the Obama administration, asking them to protect the Arctic Refuge's Coastal Plain? You can sign here -- it only takes a minute:

Thank you,

Virginia
