The proposed rules also come on the heels of the Biden administration's approval of the disastrous and dangerous project known as #Willow, a #ConocoPhillips oil development in the reserve.

The Arctic can't withstand more oil and gas development. Urge the Biden administration to take bold action to keep the #WesternArctic wild and free.

threatening #NativePlants and #animals, and disrupting #migration patterns. To make matters worse, the #pollution associated with oil and gas drilling would accelerate #ClimateChange.

At a time when we need to be getting off of #FossilFuels, why would we destroy this incredible place for a little more #oil?

Right now, the #BLM is considering whether to approve permanent protections for 13 million acres in the #WesternArctic.

Why Alaska’s NPR-A, site of the Willow Project, deserves protection

There’s a lot of important wildlife habitat in the area where the Willow project is located. It’s time for President Biden to act to protect it.

PROTECT THE WESTERN ARCTIC

The #WesternArctic, spanning millions of acres in northwest #Alaska, is an irreplaceable #wilderness.

The landscape is a patchwork of lakes, rivers, wetlands and bays. Millions of migratory #birds visit the shorelines, while #BelugaWhales swim in the coves.

Without permanent #protections, this wilderness could be destroyed.

#Oil and #gas drilling would permanently scar the Western Arctic, fragmenting wildlife habitat,
