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.

How many more species need to become endangered before people start to act?

We need to stop the oil drilling in Alaska and everywhere else. I know and so does the govt that we are now in possession of technology that can eliminate the use of oil. They are going to milk this country until it is to late.

Yukon Flats is a National Wildlife Refuge, treat it like the unique area that it is and protect it from drilling activity. We have designated this area as worthy of protection, please keep it protected.

People should try to think of animals too. If we were there instead of these charming animals, then would we have been able to happen this to us and let this effect our health? Just think.

when there are other alternative methods that do not harm the environment and are cheaper why are we using this method?
