The delicate habitat surrounding northern Alaska’s Teshekpuk Lake, one of the most wild, diverse, and fragile ecosystems in North America, has been protected from oil and gas development as a “special area” for nearly three decades. Until now. . .

Despite the objections of local and international conservationists, Alaska natives, scientists, and sportsmen, the Bush administration has scheduled the first lease sale in the Teshekpuk Lake area for this September.

Please, take action immediately to tell Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne that some places are just too special to be sold to the highest bidder. Oil and gas development in Teshekpuk lake would be a national shame and an environmental catastrophe, and should be canceled.

Hurry! The sale is scheduled for September 27!
