Across the Western Arctic, the oil industry is pushing for fewer protections, less public input, and faster approvals for oil and gas development. Now, the Department of the Interior is considering a proposal that could give industry much of what it asked for by weakening environmental review, limiting opportunities for public participation, and making it easier to approve future development projects.

Right now, oil companies are preparing for the next step toward industrializing the Refuge: seismic exploration. Despite its technical name, seismic testing isn’t harmless research. Massive vehicles crisscross the tundra, leaving scars that can last for decades while disturbing fragile habitat and wildlife. This is a critical step towards oil drilling in one of the most ecologically and culturally significant landscapes on Earth.

Take action today.

The Trump Administration is once again pushing to repeal the Roadless Rule, one of the most popular and important conservation protections in U.S. history, that protects millions of acres in Alaska from road construction and large-scale clearcut logging.

Tell the Administration: Keep the Roadless Rule in place. 

The Trump administration is yet again working to rollback protections and safety regulations as a gift to Big Oil. Their game plan? Weaken safety regulations put in place after the Deepwater Horizon disaster to make it easier for oil companies to drill in the Arctic Ocean. A major oil spill in the Arctic could be catastrophic, and responding to one would be extraordinarily difficult.

Tell the administration to reject these rollbacks and keep strong protections in place for Arctic offshore drilling.
