The administration's reckless plan would pave the way for oil rigs, pipelines and industrial roads across a landscape sacred to the region's Indigenous communities and home to abundant wildlife. And the destruction doesn't stop there. Officials have also issued permits to advance the 211-mile proposed Ambler mining road that would cut through Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, and have moved to open the Western Arctic to drilling—putting Alaska's wildlands under attack on every front. These actions endanger the freedom of local and Indigenous communities to shape the future of their homelands, threaten the conservation of intact ecosystems and wildlife, and shortchange future generations who deserve to inherit these lands healthy and intact, as we did. Now through MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, we need your help unlocking $25,000 in matching funds to help us fight these destructive projects—in the courts, in Congress and on the ground—before they ever have a chance to break ground. Will you chip in before midnight, Momoko? —Margot @ The Wilderness Society |
