Protect millions of wildlife before Sept. 27 we need you!
Target: U.S. Dept of the InteriorSponsored by: The Wilderness Society
As soon as September 27, a very special wild place could be sold to the oil and gas industry Β unless we act now!
One of the most important wetland complexes in the Arctic, the Teshekpuk Lake region is essential habitat for millions of birds and tens of thousands of caribou. It is also a stunning sweep of landscape, remarkable even in Alaska where a grand scale is the only scale.
Together, we can get the Interior Department to do the only sensible thing: cancel the September 27 sale of this precious public land.
The sale is imminent! Act quickly before it's too late! Sign this petition to stop the sale of the Teshekpuk Lake region.

i felt really very very dissapointing. how can man be such cruel. there is enough oil here. atleast if you cannot stop the oil business even after millions telling you. atleast dont disturb these birds and animals. by making a factory you may earn a lot of money but by saving these birds and animals everyone would rememner you as a good person

Please cancel the sale of this land. Stop the cruelty to beloved animals. Besides, animals are the angels of Mother Nature, and cruelty to them is disturbing her - don't let her whip her tail! Some things in nature are better left untouched. If you bother nature and get her upset, watch out! Her wrath may not be apparent immediately, but it will eventually be implemented. The bottom line is this, disturb the harmony of nature, then be prepared to suffer the consequences, the hard way!

The prime lesson in true wealth retention is that of conservation of resources, especially non renewable resources. Leave America's wildlands alone! They are priceless and irreplacable. There is enough easily accessable oil in the world to last until we institute an immediate and radical program to protect the environment and to do a, pardon the pun "crash program " to make new, highly efficient transportation and energy producing technologies. Freed from rediculous corporate limits we can use all companies and their proprietary patents to come up with the best possible system for everyone. (There is also all of the technology our government has suppressed for the sake of the billionaire oil companies.WE probably already posses all of the technology we will ever need to solve our most desperate problems. WE demand an immediate release of all of that technology as well.) Of course they will retain ownership of the patents, recieve credit for the use of their technology and eventually some form of payment, If the people choose to continue with a money/market economy. Otherwise, they would merely be remembered in history as heros who helped to save humanity from the brink of extinction. When the people finally realize they need no politicians to protect them but can do it better for themselves, you'll understand the need to act immediately to save your own jobs as well as all life on earth. Pretty simple. Either you do it, or we do, it. Now. Protect the people or the environment or we will. Be assured, we will do it OUR way. Our continued form of government and economic system depends upon OUR acceptance and cooperation of the current system. Truth is, we used to let politicians lead when they at least pretended it was in our best interest, now they no longer bother. So, being modern people and not preindustrial sheep we know that the republic is not the only game in town. We can choose or make our own! Do we still need you, are you still relevant if you will not act on our behalf? I dont think so!!!!! Just do your job and protect the land and the people, not the greedy corporation and their political lap dogs. Direct Democracy Now!

It's time we begin depending on something more renewable than oil. Oil cannot last us forever.

Protection of bird migration areas is key to protection of many species. The birds are one part of the interdependent ecosystem. It is not worth risking these magnificient wetlands for more barrels of oil or for natural gas. This is not about being partisan; it is about honoring our responsibility to preserve and protect these last remaining places.
