The Trump (R) Administration, is once again trying to Recklessly Auction Off the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, to Oil-and-Gas Drilling, putting One of the Last truly Wild Places on Earth, on the Chopping Block. Today, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is Suing to Stop their Destructive Plan.
Trump and Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum (R) Plan to Offer 1.56 million Acres of the Refuge's Coastal Plain to Fossil Fuel Corporations, Sacrificing a Pristine Wilderness for Corporate Profit.
For Decades, NRDC hasDdefended the Arctic Refuge, In-and-Out of Court. They worked to Prevent Reckless Drilling Schemes before, and There Ready to do it again, because the Stakes could Not be Higher.
Oil and Gas activity in the Arctic Refuge would severely Disrupt a Landscape that Spans over 19 million Acres and Serves as a Safe Haven for Wildlife found almost Nowhere else on Earth.
Polar Bears rely on it to Den and raise their Ccubs. Caribou Herds Migrate Across it. More than 200 Species of Migratory Birds Travel from All Seven Continents to Feed and Breed there each Summer.
The Arctic is Not Empty Land. It is a Living Breathing Ecosystem. It's a Carbon Sink that helps Stabilize Our Climate at a Moment when We can Least Afford more Pollution.
And make No Mistake: this is a Political Decision Driven by Fossil Fuel Greed, not Science, Not Public Interest, and Not the Will of the Indigenous People Who Call the Arctic Home.
NRDC is taking the Trump Administration to Court, because this Fight Demands the Strongest Tool we have: the Law.
