Fwd: Don't let Shell gamble with the polar bear's home

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: NRDC - Frances Beinecke <biogemsdefenders@savebiogems.org>

Dear Anne, BP couldn't clean up an oil spill in the Gulf. How in the world will Shell do it in the Arctic? The Obama Administration has given Shell tentative approval to explore for oil in Alaska's Polar Bear Seas. Tell Secretary Salazar to deny Shell the final permits it needs to begin drilling this summer! The Obama Administration is now paving the way for Shell to begin drilling this summer in both of our nation's "Polar Bear Seas." We must not let Shell roll the dice with America's Arctic, where a blowout and spill could devastate populations of polar bears, Pacific walrus, endangered bowhead whales and other threatened wildlife. Tell Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to deny Shell the final permits it needs to drill in the Polar Bear Seas. These two seas -- the Chukchi and the Beaufort -- are home to more than half of America's polar bears. Shell is targeting sensitive waters off the coast of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- the polar bear's favorite onshore birthing ground in Alaska. The oil giant will be sinking its first drill bit just months before pregnant polar bears move onshore to have their cubs. An oil spill in these coastal waters could produce an unmitigated catastrophe. Whales and dolphins would suffocate as their blowholes fill with oil. And oil-covered polar bears would stand virtually no chance of survival. Neither Shell nor the Coast Guard is prepared to handle a worst-case blowout under real-world conditions in the Arctic. Tell Secretary Salazar you're outraged that he's opening up the Polar Bear Seas to oil development. And tell him to deny Shell the final go-ahead to drill in this pristine environment. You and I must not stand by and watch one of our planet's last truly wild places be destroyed by Big Oil. Please send a message to Secretary Salazar today. Tell him to leave the Polar Bear Seas for polar bears, not polluters. Sincerely, Frances Beinecke President Natural Resources Defense Council

Fwd: Save seals' Arctic homes

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Emily Fisher, Oceana <wavemaker@oceana.org>

Dear Anne, Keep Seals Safe Keep oil drills out of the Arctic—sign by February 5» Seals are perfectly suited to their Arctic environment, with thick coats and streamlined bodies, perfect for both swimming in cold water and hanging out on the ice for a rest. But they are not suited for oil. All it will take is one spill to ruin the homes of thousands of seals, whales and other animals. Seals and whales coming up to breathe could find toxic fumes instead of fresh air. Oil caught in seals' fur could destroy their insulation and even cause them to freeze to death. Keep seals' homes clean and safe. Sign today to prevent drilling in the Arctic» The Department of the Interior is considering offshore oil leasing in Arctic waters, but there's still time to get the Department to change its mind. The answer is clear. Even the US Coast Guard has said there is no good way to clean up oil in icy waters. We can't take the risk. Don't let seals suffer because of oil. Sign by February 5 and tell the US government to keep oil drills out of the Arctic » For the oceans, Emily Fisher Oceana     Oceana.org | Join | Contact Oceana | Privacy Policy Text JOIN to 50555 to sign up for Oceana text alerts.

Fwd: Obama can stop the wolf slaughter

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife <defenders@mail.defenders.org>

Tell Obama to Stop the Aerial Wolf Killing Plan in Idaho   Planned aerial killing to artificially boost game populations will target wolves in Idaho. As many as two thirds of the wolves in the Lolo District of Clearwater National Forest could be killed… unless we can stop them.     Urge President Obama to direct Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to deny Idaho's request for federal resources to carry out the Lolo aerial wolf cull.    Share on Facebook   Dear Defender of Wildlife, Will your tax dollars pay for an ill-conceived aerial wolf cull in Northeastern Idaho – an unscientific plan to boost game populations that could kill as many as two thirds of the wolves in the Lolo District of the Clearwater National Forest? Tell President Obama to stop aerial wolf killing in Idaho before it starts. Send your message right now. The Idaho Fish and Game Commission has asked federal officials at Wildlife Services to use helicopters, sharpshooters and your tax dollars to find, target and kill most of the wolves in this wild area of Idaho. President Obama can save these wolves. He need only direct Wildlife Services to deny Idaho's request. Ask President Obama to stop Wildlife Services from spending federal tax dollars on this ill-conceived aerial wolf killing plan designed to artificially boost game populations. The wolf killing could begin within days – on our National Forests and paid for with your tax dollars – so please send your message now. When President Obama took office in 2009, he promised to put science first in the management of America's wildlife and natural resources. Now he has a chance to do just that by rejecting Idaho's request for federal resources to kill wolves. The President need only recognize the importance of ensuring sustainable populations of these ecologically important and iconic animals and reject Idaho's attempts to artificially boost game numbers. If we're going to stop this wasteful wolf cull, President Obama needs to hear from as many caring people as possible. Please send your message today and help us send at least 75,000 messages to the White House by the end of the week. Speak out for wolves and against using federal tax dollars to kill wolves in Idaho. Send your message now. With Gratitude, Jamie Rappaport Clark President Defenders of Wildlife Defenders Home | Privacy Policy | Contact Us | Donate Now
