Please speak up opposing this move by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, before the March 25 comment deadline. Your action will also enter you to win a FREE trip for two to Alaska!

The Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge, home to millions of migratory birds as well as grizzlies, wolves and Dall sheep, is under threat.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to trade away 110,000 acres of prime refuge wildlife habitat—along with another 97,000 acres of subsurface mineral rights—for oil and gas exploration and development.

We still have time to stop this ill-conceived plan. Until March 25, Americans can speak out in support of the native people who rely on the land, water, and wildlife resources of Yukon Flats by opposing this unwise use of the refuge’s irreplaceable habitat.

Your voice is key. Even the Fish and Wildlife Service has admitted in the past that oil drilling is not compatible with the purposes for which this refuge was established.
But they need to be reminded.

Drilling means roads, pipelines, oil spills and pollution—all of which will threaten the habitats of the moose, bear, caribou and birds that depend on this place. Native peoples living off of the land could be irreversibly affected by oil production in the area.

Time is running out. We have only until March 25 to let the Fish and Wildlife Service know that Americans do not support oil production in this Alaskan refuge!

These public lands must be protected—and concerned Americans like you and me need to step up to save them. Together we can work to protect wild Alaskan lands from oil development.
