Stop drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

Opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling will have disastrous effects on wildlife before any drilling even begins. The low-flying planes repeatedly surveying the refuge will still disturb polar bears, caribou and seals.

This method of searching for oil will scare caribou and seals away -- deserting the territory crucial to their way of life -- and can cause polar bears to abandon the coastline of the plain where they should be denning with their cubs.
