Protect the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge from Drilling, Mining and Other Exploitation

The Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is home to hundreds of species that have nowhere left to go. ANWR is now on the verge of being opened for drilling.

We cannot go on destroying the last pristine places on Earth in the name of profit. Instead, we should preserve and protect all wildlife reserves to make sure they are forever safe from exploitation by corporations that seek only to plunder the planet's treasures.

We the undersigned call upon Congress to make sure the ANWR is protected from oil and mining interests in order to protect its ecology and wildlife.
