Stop Oil Drilling in Alaska Wildlife Refuge!
Target: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Alaska Regional Director Tom MeliusSponsored by: The Wilderness Society
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering allowing oil development on a core parcel of the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.
This land, vital habitat to millions of migratory birds, moose, Dall sheep and bears is on the threshold of being ruined by roads, pipelines, and pollution.
What's at stake here?
This special place in America would be irreparably damaged if oil exploration and development is allowed, bringing with it roads, traffic, pipelines, oil spills and pollution.
We have until May 15 to tell the Fish and Wildlife Service that oil drilling has no place in this critical ecosystem. Please sign this petition today!
This land, vital habitat to millions of migratory birds, moose, Dall sheep and bears is on the threshold of being ruined by roads, pipelines, and pollution.
What's at stake here?
- An enormous wetland basin of rivers and lakes that is habitat for marten, wild salmon, moose, bears, wolves and more,
- A base for hundreds of species of migratory birds, and
- Native cultures that have relied on the region's resources for millennia.
This special place in America would be irreparably damaged if oil exploration and development is allowed, bringing with it roads, traffic, pipelines, oil spills and pollution.

It is unacceptable to destroy one of the last pristine environments, and endanger rare and special flora and fauna.

Hasn't enough innocent blood been shed already? Stop drilling before it's too late!

If you had been there - you would not do this. Words cannot describe the beauty and wonder of Alaska and it's wildlife. This is one of the last places left for future generations to see animals living as God intended. We are already losing vital habitats here due to global warming - we don't need to add to this for the sake of a few more cars on the road.

I thought U.S. Fish and Wildlife were supposed to protect our natural lands...not condemn them to nasty oil drilling. Isn't the Alaska Wildlife Refuge under protection?

Leave this wonderful unspoiled wilderness to the animals and plant life which we need to protect from commercial gain. Think before you destroy this beautiful part of our Earth - there is so little left - we must protect every small piece we can.
