This oil and gas extraction project threatens to unleash 260 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere over the next 30 years.
In the process, it’ll industrialize thousands of acres of habitat for animals like threatened polar bears and caribou into a polluted and noisy oil field.
Millions of people oppose this reckless project – but the Biden administration has bowed to oil lobbyists and is allowing the Willow Project to move forward anyway.
The Arctic is warming several times faster than the rest of the planet. Allowing oil companies to break ground on this project will spell a death sentence for the Arctic and the animals that live there.
Defenders will fight this disastrous project every step of the way. We’re suing the Biden administration to shut down this development before irreversible damage can be done – please join us with your support today and check out our #StopWillow Advocate Toolkit!
