The Biden administration turned its back on wildlife when it greenlit the Willow project earlier this year.

The Center for Biological Diversity immediately sued to stop it, but a federal judge just allowed Willow — the single-largest oil and gas development project on U.S. public lands — to proceed.

Please help save Arctic wildlife with a gift today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. All gifts will be matched.

We'll be appealing this decision in court. We're not going to give up or slow down our fight to save the Arctic.

Willow would mean drilling up to 199 oil wells. It would mean hundreds of miles of ice roads and pipelines, along with gravel roads, an airstrip and a gravel mine.

Polar bears, already facing starvation, will be pushed closer to the brink. Caribou, seals, migratory birds and other species will also be harmed.

And the climate costs are staggering. Willow will pollute the climate with more than 239 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over 30 years — as much as nearly 2 million cars.

Not one new oil well should be built in Alaska's Western Arctic.

Please help us save this landscape and its wildlife with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
