*[Enwl-eng] Don't let Trump open this protected Arctic reserve to drilling

[ecology]

                        Reversing protections to allow oil and gas drilling would be devastating for this ecosystem.

                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Oil and Gas Drilling Could Begin in Protected Alaska Reserve. We Must Speak Out Against This!

                        The U.S. government is preparing to allow oil and gas corporations to begin drilling in an Arctic reserve in Alaska. The specific reserve is the largest area of public land in the nation, even larger than some U.S. states. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including endangered species like polar bears and many migratory birds.

                        But now, this entire protected area is at risk of industrialization and habitat destruction because Trump has promised to roll back protections and increase drilling within the U.S.

                        Already, Trump's U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has indicated it is likely to reverse protections on 82% of the area, known as National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A), with the intention of allowing oil drilling. In fact, it has already rolled back three previous portions of Biden-era protections.

                        Native Alaskan communities, wildlife, and the Earth deserve better. These lands must be protected and respected. Oil and gas development tears up whole ecosystems with roads, equipment, deforestation, pollution, spills, and more. But on top of that, we simply do not need more oil and gas drilling! The Earth is already experiencing catastrophic climate change, resulting in record heat waves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, and floods. We must act quickly to reverse our dependence on fossil fuels, not to increase it.


                        We absolutely cannot let greedy fossil fuel corporations take over this important ecosystem. Sign the petition to help us demand full protections for the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska!

                        P.S. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management must halt its plans to allow fossil fuel extraction in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. Sign the petition.
