ALASKA WILDERNESS LEAGUE ACTION
In 2017, Congress and the Trump administration reversed more than 60 years of bipartisan protections for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by voting to open it to oil and gas development. By making oil and gas a purpose of a national wildlife refuge for the first time in history, a dangerous precedent for reversing public land protections was established that could impact wild places nationwide.
Featured Action: SUPPORT THE ARCTIC REFUGE PROTECTION ACT
Take action: Urge your member of congress to co-sponsor the Arctic Refuge Protection Act
Please note: Alaska Wilderness League Action engages in legislative and political advocacy to protect Alaska’s wild places. Visit the website of our sister organization, Alaska Wilderness League, to learn more about that organization’s education and advocacy to protect Alaska.
