Grizzly and polar bears, caribou, rare birds, and other wildlife species rely on public land in the Western Arctic. These sensitive areas are also home to dozens of Indigenous communities.
But ConocoPhillips and other fossil fuel companies just see vast swaths of land for climate-busting oil and gas drilling.
They're spending millions to drill in sensitive Arctic ecosystems. One of the largest and most recent drilling operations approved depends on chillers to refreeze permafrost that's now melting because of climate change. It's outrageous and a sign that the fossil fuel industry will never stop unless we force it to.
Tell the Biden administration: Protect the Arctic from Big Oil right away!
ConocoPhillips is creating a hub for fossil fuel development in the Arctic,with a commitment to drilling in the Arctic for the long-term. More oil drilling in the Arctic will only deepen the U.S.'s fossil fuel addiction when we need to be rapidly expanding renewable energy.
We must stand against ConocoPhillips and their crude oil cronies relentlessly exploiting the Arctic, causing irreparable harm and devastation. Add your name now.

Thank you for your commitment to safeguard our nation's sensitive ecosystems, especially the Arctic, from oil industry attacks.
Grizzly and polar bears, caribou, rare birds, and other wildlife species rely on public land in the Western Arctic. These sensitive areas are also home to dozens of Indigenous communities.
As you know, scientists warn that the Arctic region is warming more than four times faster than the rest of the world, so stopping drilling here is a key step to avert climate catastrophe.
Please accept this letter as my most urgent request for you to protect the Arctic from oil exploitation and destruction.
