A living, breathing natural treasure, America’s  Western Arctic is one of our nation’s wildest secrets and one of our last great, wild places. At 23 million acres - the size of Indiana - the Western Arctic is the country’s largest single parcel of public land. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management and with the unfortunate name of the National Petroleum Reserve – Alaska, oil and gas development in the Western Arctic  poses an immediate threat to wildlife and the continuity of this fragile ecosystem.

​Join us in our efforts to protect America’s greatest treasure.
