Stop Big Oil's Push to Open the Arctic Refuge
Target: United States Senate
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most important onshore denning habitats for America's threatened polar bears. Known as America's Serengeti, this stunning refuge teems with wildlife such as caribou, snow fox and millions of migratory birds.
But with oil prices skyrocketing, the Bush administration and Big Oil are pushing harder than ever to drill in this special place. Even the Bush administration's recent decision to protect polar bears under the Endangered Species Act includes provisions to allow drilling in polar bear habitat such as the Refuge.
Take action now -- tell your Senators to reject drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and support permanent protections for this special place.

The U.S.A. has an obligation to protect this area for humanity not the oil companies..

National Geographic May 2006 Fall of the Wild Selling Alaska's Frontier Noted biologist George Schaller is quoted in the article, and his words help summarize the position that we endorse regarding the Arctic Refuge and all of the other significant and threatened lands in the Arctic: It is the ultimate in patriotism to leave future generations what the past reveres. Drilling in ANWR is just ecological vandalism. You have the landscape of 10,000 years compared with Prudhoe Bay, which has the landscape of New Jersey. What kind of society do we have that would destroy that for future generations for a few more gallons of gas? ~George Schaller, Biologist There are no plans to clean up the place when the oil and gas are gone. A 2003 report by the National Research Council concluded that because of exorbitant cost and lax oversight, most of the tundra will never be restored, making the stakes in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge all the higher.
