Bears before billionaires.
Help stop oil drilling in one of the most ecologically and culturally significant landscapes on Earth: bit.ly/3U2CnvV
Preserve. Protect. Defend.
Research shows that technology used before seismic testing for oil drilling misses 55% of polar bear dens, which can lead to crushed dens, cubs separated from their mothers or bears forcibly abandoning their dens.

Industrializing the #ArcticRefuge has profound human rights implications, disrupting the landscape threatens the survival of a people, the Gwich'in.
They have lived on these lands since time immemorial and rely on caribou for their subsistence lifestyle but seismic activity for future oil drilling threatens the herd's calving grounds, directly undermining the Gwich'in people's rights to food, culture, and self-determination.

Let bears be bears.
Not collateral damage.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of the last truly wild places we have in this country, is no place for harmful seismic testing, oil drilling, and industrialization of any kind.

At a recent National Wilderness Coalition fly-in, Kyle Milne was one of two Arctic guides who joined Alaska Wilderness League in meetings with members of Congress to share their firsthand perspectives and advocate for protections for Arctic lands.
He shared some of the moments that have shaped his love for Alaska’s Arctic, and what wilderness means from the perspective of someone who makes his living guiding people through it.
Read the text of the speech he delivered in the U.S. Capitol:

The only thing that should be making tracks in the Arctic is wildlife.
Happy Polar Bear Week 2026!

State money propping up the oil, gas, and mining industries is costing Alaska billions of dollars.
It’s time for AIDEA to fulfill this promise and stop wasting state money on poor investments in extractive mega projects.

"A landscape that demands your presence, your empathy, and your attention." –Kyle Milne
A born and raised Alaskan, Kyle has worked as a fly-fishing guide, wildland firefighter, Arctic guide, and in the nonprofit sector.
He first visited Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in 2021, and since then it has always had a hold on a piece of him.

A new Congress means new opportunities for Alaska's wild lands and waters. With new committee leadership and opportunities for oversight, there's reason for hope. Elections don't protect wild places on their own, but people, persistence, and action do. And we're ready.
Today, millions of people across the country will decide who participates in shaping the future of our communities and public lands.
Join them. Vote today.
