Why Alaska’s NPR-A, site of the Willow Project, deserves protection
There’s a lot of important wildlife habitat in the area where the Willow project is located. In April, 2024 President Biden acted to protect it.
Can you imagine a world filled with more wildlife and wild places? So can we. And we’re working together to make it happen.
Every minute, we’re losing two football fields worth of wild lands, and too many animal species face extinction. It’s up to us to turn things around. We imagine an America with more mountaintops where all we see is forests below, with more rivers that flow wild and free, more shoreline where all we hear are waves. An America with abundant wildlife, from butterflies and bees floating lazily in your backyard, to the howl of a coyote in the distance, to the breach of a whale just visible from the shore. Together, we can work toward this better future.

For bees, butterflies and other pollinators suffering from habitat loss, even the smallest patch of green can be a vital oasis, helping them to survive and thrive.
Congress allocated nearly $20 billion more to USDA’s conservation programs through the Inflation Reduction Act. This could help bees find a little home on the prairie.
Our cities can help protect bees and offer pollinators a safe haven through green infrastructure projects.
