Don’t let Big Oil turn polar bear habitat into a polluted, industrialized wasteland.

Our 4X Flash Match ends in 24 hours - can polar bears count on you? ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ [Polar Bear Sniffing © Susan Bradshaw/Alamy Stock Photo]( Defender, Which world would you rather live in: - A world where polar bears, caribou, and other Arctic wildlife carry on the precious cycle of life, - Or a world where Big Oil CEOs are free to pollute and destroy irreplaceable habitat while they reap record profits? It shouldn’t even be a question. But the infuriating reality is that ConocoPhillips is forcing us into a world of its making. Its massive Willow Project is poised to devastate the Arctic and destroy vulnerable populations of animals. Not on our watch – Defenders and our allies are in court to save the Arctic and protect vulnerable polar bear populations from being driven to extinction, and we need your help! [Make your most powerful contribution now: Until tomorrow, every dollar you give will be MATCHED to go 4X as far to protect polar bears and other vulnerable animals!]( The Willow Project is a threat to the survival of humans and animals alike. This oil and gas development will unleash 260 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, melting the Arctic and speeding up an already deadly climate crisis. Either we win now and protect the Arctic from greedy fossil fuel developers, or we’ll be forced to endure the fallout of decades of pollution as we lose more and more of the species we’re sworn to protect. We won’t let Big Oil turn the Arctic into an industrialized wasteland. This is the fight of a lifetime, and we urgently need your support if we’re going to succeed!
