Alaska: Put Polar Bears Before Big Oil

Alaska: Put Polar Bears Before Big Oil

The Issue

What would happen if a Gulf Coast-sized oil spill took place off the shores of Alaska?

The state of Alaska is opposing a plan to designate 187,000 acres of critical habitat for polar bears - land that would protect nearly the entire range of habitat for every polar bear in Alaska, but which interferes with the interests of Big Oil.

It's up to us to make them change their minds.
