Dear President Trump,

I am writing on behalf of Peace 4 Animals and World Animal News to express our deep concern regarding your recent decision to open Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil leasing.

Alaska’s most treasured refuge is one of the few remaining truly pristine landscapes on Earth. It provides sanctuary for polar bears, caribou, musk oxen, migratory birds, and countless other species that rely entirely on its delicate ecosystem for survival. Once disturbed, this wilderness can never be fully restored. The risks of pollution, oil spills, and habitat loss are too great, and the cost to future generations is immeasurable.

We understand the importance of strengthening the U.S. economy and ensuring energy independence. However, these goals can be achieved without sacrificing one of America’s last great wild frontiers. Investing in clean, renewable energy presents an extraordinary opportunity to create sustainable American jobs, grow the economy, and position the United States as a global leader in innovation while protecting our natural heritage.

Safeguarding Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would be a remarkable act of leadership, one that demonstrates strength, compassion, and stewardship for the future of our planet, its wildlife, and our children. Reconsidering this decision would not only preserve one of the most sacred and majestic places on Earth but also honor America’s legacy as a nation that cherishes its natural wonders.

Thank you for your time, service, and attention to this matter. We hope you will stand to protect the natural treasures that reflect the greatness and beauty of America.

Warm regards,

Katie Cleary
