Recently, the White House cancelled all existing oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, marking a historic win for polar bears, people and our climate.

While this is a significant step forward, stronger protections are needed for the imperiled polar bears, caribou, migratory birds and many other species that call the refuge home.

The Bureau of Land Management is currently seeking public input on a new Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS), giving our community the opportunity to secure long-term protection for America’s Arctic for generations to come.

Please express your support for climate action and the strongest possible protections for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
