The Western Arctic is our nation’s largest single unit of public land, spanning nearly 23 million acres. To better protect these lands over time, five designated Special Areas were created — a collection of lands that contain critical ecosystems unlike anywhere else on earth, that serve as havens of global climate action and local resiliency. America’s Arctic contains some of the best intact ecosystems left in the U.S. Nowhere else on the continent can we find such unique biodiversity on such large swaths of undeveloped land. This place has long deserved the highest level of protection. From polar bears to snowy owls, our distinct Arctic wildlife depends on it. There is an incredibly strong appetite among millions of Americans to protect America’s Arctic and through that passion, we will find durable solutions to ensure this wild landscape is around for generations to come. Moving forward, there can be #NoMoreWillows in this landscape – which is why we’re incredibly thankful that the Biden administration has strengthened protections for Special Areas and taken the next step to ensure America’s Arctic receives lasting, durable protections. THANK YOU, President Biden for your historic conservation action to protect America’s Arctic! Want to send a ‘thank you’ letter to the administration as well?
