Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
October 2001
Does anyone know an organization that is dedicated to helping the
refuge--a small part of which is in danger of getting drilled for
oil--and whose funds actually do so (as opposed to paying a top-heavy
administration)?

For the person wanting to know where to donate money to preserve the Artic Refuge,
go to the following web-site:

That's the one!
Good luck

Hi,
I already deleted the post, but in a recent 'Recommendations', someone was looking for a group working on ANWAR, and they specified not wanting their $$ to go to a top-heavy organization. Well, this forwarded email is from a group I believe does great work, not only on ANWAR, but on extractive uses and road building on all U.S. public lands. They send out regular emails informing readers of crucial legislative and regulatory developments, who the key players are, and what should be expressed to them. What they
DON'T do is shamelessly hit you up for donations, or spend donors' money on fancy headquarters, glossy mags, or big salaries. I know, because I used to work w/ Steve Holmer, their Campaign Coordinator, at Greenpeace in Washington, D.C., and I've seen the facility, and know their excellent work on behalf of U.S. wildlands. Well, now that I sound like an ad for the group, I'll shut up. But below is a sample of one of their alerts. Please pass on whatever parts of this email you think would be helpful to the entire list so that others might contribute as well.
Thank you,
John Jacobson

The Arctic Campaign has been a collaborative effort of many groups. In
2000, a group based in D.C., Alaska Wilderness League, was key. You
might also try the Alaska Center for the Environment, Anchorage or
Defenders of Wildlife, which I think has a program focussed specifically
on Caribou protection.
