Defend the Refuge
Spanning nearly 20 million acres of traditional Gwich’in and Iñupiat lands, the Arctic Refuge is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. But the climate crisis is quickly destabilizing the region, threatening the ecosystems that local Native communities depend on—and have defended from Big Oil for generations. Today, the Refuge is once again under threat. Elected officials are pushing for renewed oil and gas development, paving the way for seismic testing, mandated lease sales and the rollback of hard-won protections.
