Please act now to save the Arctic Wildlife Refuge

Save The National Wildlife Refuge. It is 19 million
acres comprising one of the last places on earth where
an intact expanse of arctic and sub arctic lands
remains protected.
Drilling in the Arctic Refuge can't make even a
small dent in meeting America's energy needs. U.S.
Geological Survey scientists estimate that there is
very likely only enough oil to supply America's
needs for six months. And oil companies admit that,
even that, won't be available for at least 10 years.
An irreplaceable natural treasure, the Arctic
Refuge is home to caribou, polar bears, grizzly
bears, wolves, golden eagles, snow geese and more.
Millions of other birds use the Arctic Refuge to
nest and as a critical staging area on their
migratory journeys.
Of course, the Arctic Refuge supports more than
wildlife. For a thousand generations, the Gwich'in
people of Northeast Alaska and Northwest Canada have
depended on it and lived in harmony with it. To
them, the Arctic Coastal Plain is sacred ground.
