Utqiagvik in the far north of America's Arctic saw its last sunset this week until August! The sun will dim but not set for the next several months, fueling the explosion of plant and insect life throughout the summer. This jumpstarts a nutrient-dense Arctic food web that will bring birds from around the world to nest, caribou to calf, and many marine mammals to its shoreline nurseries.

ConocoPhillips just announced their Q1 2026 earnings and they came in at $2.2 Billion.
That's a lot of money to earn in three months. But you know what's worth even more money in that same time frame? THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE.
The Refuge's ecosystem services alone (that's the dollar value of the work wild landscapes do to clean our air, purify our water, support our fisheries, etc) are worth around $3.75 billion every single quarter of every single year.
And the best part? It pays dividends to every single person on Earth.
Some places are too valuable to lose. Tell fossil fuel companies to stay OUT of the Arctic Refuge.

In America's Western Arctic, polar bears are facing unprecedented pressure, not just from climate change, but from fast-tracked fossil fuel development.
Watch, share, take action to #ProtectTheArctic!

Last week, giant screen film THE ARCTIC: OUR LAST GREAT WILDERNESS made a special appearance at @anchoragemuseum alongside filmmaker @florianschulzvisuals , narrator and award-winning producer @daazhraii , and @gwichinsteeringcommittee Executive Director, Kristen Moreland.
The timing of this event couldn't have been more important as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, including the Coastal Plain—caribou birthing grounds sacred to the Gwich'in, faces a lease sale for fossil fuel development on June 5th.

What happens in the Arctic impacts everyone on Earth. We must #StopTheArcticSellOff. Join a fight decades in the making and learn how you can help #ProtectTheArctic at ProtectTheArctic.org.
