Save Arctic wildlife from more disastrous oil drilling! 🚨 🐻‍❄️

The Trump administration is working to open 8.7 million more acres of public land to fossil fuel development in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska — aka the #WesternArcticReserve.

The reserve contains some of the most ecologically important places in the Arctic. It shouldn't become an oilfield.

It's home to diverse wildlife, from polar bears to caribou to ice seals — and even migratory bird species you may see in your backyard. 

But President Donald Trump wants to open about 8.7 million more acres of the reserve to oil and gas leasing and gut regulations meant to minimize the harms of drilling where it's already allowed. 

We can't allow that to happen. So we're fighting back.
