Protect polar bears from harmful oil and gas development
Polar bears in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge build dens in the fall so they can give birth there in the winter. But oil and gas development can crush the dens and the bears inside. Please let @POTUS know that the polar bears and other Arctic wildlife must be protected from impacts from oil and gas leasing.

Speak Out for Wetlands, Streams, and Wood Ducks
Did you know that wetlands—marshes, bogs, and swamps—provide essential habitat for wildlife like the wood duck, and that one-third of threatened or endangered species depend on these crucial waters for survival? But our wetlands and streams are at a greater risk of pollution and destruction than ever before due to a recent rollback in protections. Send a message to your governor and members of Congress, urging them to support efforts to restore and protect wetlands, streams, and water habitats.
