Big News: 9.8 Million Acres of U.S. Arctic Ocean Protected From Offshore Drilling
Take action: Thank President Barack Obama and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell for protecting important Arctic areas in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas!
In an unprecedented action, President Obama recently designated 9.8 million acres of ecologically important areas in the U.S. Chukchi and Beaufort seas as off-limits to future offshore oil and gas development.
Thank President Obama and Secretary Jewell for protecting vibrant areas of the Arctic Ocean.
The president’s Arctic withdrawals safeguard five vibrant areas of the Arctic marine ecosystem that have long been recognized as crucial for wildlife. Several are also identified as culturally significant to coastal communities’ Inupiat people, who have lived on the bounty of the ocean for many centuries.
Some of the most productive and vulnerable of all U.S. federal waters, these areas are characterized by the presence of sea ice and distinguished by bountiful migrating and resident populations of remarkable wildlife, such as walruses, beluga and bowhead whales, ice seals, shorebirds, and seabirds, as well as exceptional biological productivity.
Act now: Thank President Obama and Secretary Jewell for protecting 9.8 million acres of Arctic Ocean.
In his announcement, the president said this action was carried out with “due consideration of the critical importance of certain areas within the Beaufort and Chukchi seas to subsistence use by Alaska Natives as well as for marine mammals, other wildlife, and wildlife habitat, and to ensure that the unique resources of these areas remain available for future generations.”
Please join us in thanking the president and his secretary of the interior for taking a major step toward a more balanced and resilient future for the U.S. Arctic Ocean.
Next, you did it! After two decades of relentless campaigning, the ecologically rich public lands of Colorado’s Browns Canyon are now permanently protected for wildlife like bobcats, falcons and elk.
President Obama signed the executive order Browns Canyon Canyon’s 22,000 acres are now America’s newest National Monument!
This is a major victory for wildlife, and a testament to the incredible power of determined wildlife advocates like you who have fought for years to safeguard our natural treasures for generations to come.
But even now, there are many places where wildlife is imperiled. Keep making a difference.
Help the wins for wildlife keep coming. Make a donation to the National Wildlife Federation Action Fund today to help protect spectacular places like Browns Canyon for everyone, forever.
National Monument designation means that Browns Canyon lands can’t be sold off, mined or mismanaged. It means habitat for wildlife like bobcat are free from the threats of mining pollution, fragmentation or destruction.
Conservation-minded people like you want the same for the wild mountain landscape of Boulder-White Clouds.
Boulder-White Clouds is an impressive high alpine ecosystem in Idaho and refuge for bighorn sheep, mountain goat, elk, moose and antelope. Rare and sensitive predators such as wolverines, gray wolf, lynx and mountain lions roam this cherished place.
Like Browns Canyon, this treasured landscape today is threatened by industrial mining and deserves the highest federal protection.
We know we can win when good people like you unite for wildlife. But a strong will is not all it takes to achieve victory. Your gift today really matters.
Commercial mining operations are devastating for wildlife and wildlife habitat. People suffer, too.
Four major rivers originate in Boulder-White Clouds, delivering cool, clean water from its towering peaks. These river systems are home to many species of trout, and are the spawning grounds of the world’s farthest and highest elevation migrating salmon and steelhead.
So even as we celebrate our victory in Browns Canyon, we must shore up our resources to defend America’s pristine, irreplaceable places like Boulder-White Clouds.
Bobcats and wildlife need Browns Canyon. So do we, the people.
Show wildlife that help is on the way.
Thanks for all you do to protect wildlife and our natural world.
President Obama just added two new national park sites
that preserve both inspiring and challenging stories of America’s past: Pullman
National Monument in Chicago and Honouliuli National Monument on the island of
Oahu in Hawaii. And it’s because of you, taking the time to make your
voice heard, that this happened. For that, we at NPCA thank
you!
Now, send the president a thank-you note for his action to protect Pullman and Honouliuli as national monuments!
George Pullman established his historic community in 1880 as the nation’s first model industrial town, and its legacy is integrally connected to the push for fair labor conditions and civil rights in the United States. This special place, and those who lived or worked there, helped shape our country.
During the Second World War the U.S. government used the Honouliuli internment camp to hold Japanese Americans, European Americans, and resident immigrants based on race and ethnicity. Honouliuli was the largest and longest-operating of five internment camps in Hawaii.
Thank you for continuing to protect and preserve these places--urban and rural, natural and historic--that speak to who we are as a nation.
Now, millions of people will be able to visit Pullman and Honouliuli to remember and recognize their significant role in America’s history.
Take Action: Join us in thanking President Obama for designating Pullman and Honouliuli as our newest national monuments.
