Arctic National Wildlife Area at risk again!

Gosh, will it never end? A number of conservation groups are sending out alerts that another attempt will be made in September to get drilling authorized in the Arctic National Wildlife Area by attaching it to the Budget Reconciliation Bill (a sneaky way of avoiding a public debate plus using the need to enact this legislation that funds the running of the federal government). The Defenders of Wildlife have a good website explaining this threat. You can see an interactive map of bird species that breed in the Artic in your state and you can take action by sending a message to your Representative and Senators that only takes a minute or two.

Birders have not only a vested interest in protecting birds that use the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge so they can continue seeing and enjoying them, but also a responsibility as birders must be active in protecting and conserving birds and their habitats. So, please take a few minutes to send a message via the easy and quick method provided by Defenders of Wildlife. Thank you.
