The Porcupine Caribou herd relies on the pristine grounds of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for calving. This sacred land, untouched by industrial development, is crucial not only for the survival of the Caribou but also for the Gwich’in people, who have depended on this herd for generations. It is their culture, their sustenance, and their way of life at stake here. We can’t let oil and gas interests disrupt this delicate balance.

Think about the future generations of Porcupine Caribou and the Gwich’in who deserve safe and peaceful surroundings, untouched by the intrusive noise and pollution of drilling. The Gwich’in describe the calving grounds as the place "where life begins." It isn't just a piece of land; it's a symbol of freedom, life, and continuity for them. Allowing oil and gas development here would be a devastating blow to their culture and to the natural world.

The Arctic Refuge deserves to be preserved, cherished, and respected. Once industrial development starts, the risks of irreversible damage to the environment and to the wildlife it supports are enormous. The Porcupine Caribou’s calving grounds should remain untouched, ensuring its sanctuary for the Caribou and the Gwich’in people. By protecting this refuge, we uphold values of conservation and respect for indigenous communities and their traditions.

This pristine environment is a national treasure that should be safeguarded from the threat of industrial intrusion. We need to act now to stop the encroachment of oil and gas industries to ensure the survival and beauty of this sacred habitat. Let's stand with the Gwich’in and advocate for the protection of these lands.
