Drilling in the Arctic? Nope. Not on our watch.

48 Hours for the Arctic: What we do right now decides its future. Help unlock $25,000 to protect these lands!

Momoko, the administration has announced the most extreme attack ever on the irreplaceable Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: a plan to open every acre of its fragile coastal plain to oil and gas drilling.

The plan goes further than any before it—opening more land to drilling with minimal protections for the area's sensitive resources and reinstating previously cancelled oil and gas leases.

If it moves forward, this plan will bring oil rigs, pipelines and industrial roads to one of the last intact ecosystems on the planet—scarring caribou calving grounds, threatening polar bear dens and disregarding Indigenous communities who have lived in relationship with these lands since time immemorial.

The damage this will do to the Arctic's breathtaking wildlands cannot be undone.

We can stop this—but we have to act fast. That's why we're launching a 48-hour FLASH MATCH campaign to power our defense of public lands in Alaska and across the country before it's too late. When you rush an urgent gift before midnight tomorrow, a generous donor will match every dollar—helping unlock our goal of an extra $25,000 to strengthen our fight!

YES, I'LL HELP!

Here's why we must block drilling in the Arctic Refuge:

It destroys vital wildlife habitat: The coastal plain is the calving ground for the Porcupine Caribou Herd, denning habitat for polar bears and nesting ground for hundreds of migratory bird species from all across the globe.
It threatens Indigenous rights and livelihoods: The Gwich'in Nation calls the coastal plain "The Sacred Place Where Life Begins." Drilling here endangers their food security, culture and spiritual traditions that have endured for millennia.
It risks irreversible damage to fragile ecosystems: Oil development would bring roads, airstrips, heavy machinery, noise and pollution—damaging the Arctic Refuge's fragile ecosystem.
It prevents the people from having a say in the future of Alaska's public lands: Overwhelmingly, the people of this country oppose selling off or giving away public lands to billionaires and multinational corporations—this is an unprecedented attack on our freedom to access and explore them.

We're fighting back with every tool at our disposal—with litigation, in the halls of Congress advocating for permanent protections, and building overwhelming grassroots support against destroying this sacred place.

But we can't do it without you—and the Arctic can't wait. Please, make a special year-end gift now to help unlock $25,000 in matching funds that will immediately double your impact and strengthen our work to mobilize against this devastating attack. Once drilling begins, this irreplaceable landscape will be altered forever—we need your help to protect it, Momoko.

🚨 ONE day left: Tell BLM to protect Wyoming’s wild public lands!

Tell BLM: Keep Protections for Wyoming's wild public lands

Submit a comment

Dear Momoko,

Less than a year ago, the Bureau of Land Management finalized a plan in southwest Wyoming to protect critical habitat for wildlife like elk and pronghorn, plus cherished lands where people hike, hunt and camp. The plan, known as the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan (RMP), was more than a decade in the making, built on careful public input.

Now, the Trump administration is trying to unwind these protections—opening the door for oil, gas and mining development in Wyoming's Northern Red Desert.

One day left! Urge the BLM to keep the existing Rock Springs plan in place to protect Wyoming's wild places.

The Rock Springs RMP:

Protects the lands where locals hike, hunt and camp;
Safeguards critical habitat for mule deer, pronghorn and elk;
Supports Wyoming's $1.5 billion outdoor recreation economy.

Those benefits shouldn't be sacrificed for the sake of more drilling; 92% of the state's BLM lands are already open for oil and gas leasing. If special landscapes like the Northern Red Desert are also leased, they will never be the same again.

Send a message ASAP and help protect over 3.6 million acres of our shared public lands.

Thank you for your advocacy and support.

Sincerely,

The Wilderness Society
