The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is NOT an oil and gas field. It is home to iconic species like polar bears, caribou, bald eagles, wolves, and muskoxen. Its native Gwich’in people have stewarded the land for thousands of years and depend on its habitat for their traditional way of life.
Scientific research indicates the arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Allowing oil and gas development will only tip it further toward climate chaos and devastate this treasured public land, its wildlife, and its Indigenous people.
Yet the Trump administration announced plans to open ANWR to oil and gas drilling.
In 2019, the House passed the Arctic Cultural and Coastal Plain Protection Act (HR 1146). This legislation prohibits oil and gas infrastructure in and from the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Senate can protect ANWR by introducing and passing this legislation NOW.
