Here we go again with humans idea of progress which does not fit in with the balance of nature. When will people learn that we can coexist with the natural world without creating so much chaos and destruction?

Alaska Senators Ted Stevens and Lisa Murkowski have a plan to pave a destructive road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge… a paradise where wildflowers blossom on fragile tundra, thousands of birds burst from lagoons of eelgrass and brown bears feast on salmon returning to spawn.

We can’t let that happen.

As members of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, our Senators can help defeat this costly and unnecessary bill that would blaze a destructive path through one of our national treasures.

With lagoons, tundra and stunning mountain peaks, the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge is internationally recognized as an important wetland, protected as a wildlife refuge and designated as a wilderness area.

Tens of thousands of waterfowl, seabirds and shorebirds rely on the Izembek — one of Alaska’s most ecologically unique refuges — for nesting and feeding. In fact, each fall the refuge shelters nearly the entire population of the Pacific black brant and the emperor goose. This incredible habitat is also home to brown bears, wolverines, steller’s eiders, caribou and other wildlife. The proposed road would slice through the ecological heart of this special place, devastating fragile habitat and the wildlife that lives there… and costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. It would also set a terrible precedent, threatening other refuges and wilderness areas. 

Take action now — tell your Senators to oppose a destructive road though an Alaskan paradise.

With your help, we can defeat this costly and destructive plan… and preserve one of Alaska’s most spectacular paradises. We must use our voices and act to protect those who cannot save themselves before all of our wild places are destroyed. It would be a damn shame to leave our future generations a world devoid of natural wildlife where green places are few and far between.
