The Bush administration has released its plan to drill for oil and gas in 100% of the Teshekpuk Lake area, one of the most sensitive and important wetlands of the Western Arctic. Only the lake itself is subject to a temporary leasing deferral. By rejecting any idea of balance and opening virtually every acre around the Lake, the administration’s plan undoes longstanding protections for wildlife and subsistence values -- tens of thousands of geese and 45,000 caribou could be surrounded by roads, pipelines, and industrial sprawl.

Take action now -- send a letter to Interior Secretary Gale Norton telling her to retain protections for critical bird, fish, and wildlife habitats around Teshekpuk Lake.
