1. WELCOME
Dear Ronald,
The Arctic Refuge was named one of the "Seven Wonders of
America" by Good Morning America this week. That was welcome
news to those of us who have worked to protect this unparalleled
place.
Despite its wonders, the Refuge remains a prize coveted by the
oil industry. Both President Bush and Sen. Domenici (R-NM) have
pushed recently for opening the Refuge to oil development. Gas
from the Refuge would do nothing to allay our
costs at the pump, but development there would destroy a
world-class breeding and nesting ground and sanctuary for more
than 250 species of animals.
See below for how you can help fend off this latest threat to
the Refuge, and to learn about recent successes we've had, with
your help.
Best wishes,
Kathy Kilmer

2. SUPPORT OUR WORK
DON'T PASS UP THIS MILLION DOLLAR OPPORTUNITY
Wouldn't it be nice if you could suddenly make double the
difference in protecting America's wildlands? Today,
Ronald, you can!
A couple of generous donors will match your gift
dollar-for-dollar, in a one million dollar challenge grant. Why?
Because they share your passion about protecting America's
wilderness, and they are well aware that the Bush Administration
can do some serious damage in its final days. This is when our
work to save places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is
most urgent.
Give today to see your donation go TWICE as far. And thank you!https://dona=
te.wilderness.org/05/matchn/np1sG-UK1HFb7?
*****************************************
3. TAKE ACTION
ARCTIC REFUGE UNDER FIRE, AGAIN
As gas prices continue to rise, the volume is being turned up on
demands to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling,
expand offshore oil and gas activity, and pursue environmentally
hazardous oil shale and tar sands technologies.
Drilling in the Arctic Refuge will do nothing to solve America's
energy problems, but could do lasting harm to this place.
Please take a moment to ask your senators to oppose any proposal
to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas
drilling. Click here:http://action.wilderness.org/campaign/serengeti/8ue8g3=

4. INSIDE STORY
AND THE SURVEY SAYS...
As a WildAlert subscriber, you are passionate about wildlife and
the great outdoors. You love to visit wilderness, hike and camp
or work in your garden and watch birds. Mobilizing with others
to protect wilderness is a winning strategy for you.
That's just a part of what we've learned from this year's
WildAlert survey, with its record 24,000 responses. Here's more:
Most subscribers have spoken out via email about wilderness
issues. A growing number are eager to help by making phone
calls, posting information to blogs, and getting involved in
other ways.
Your thoughts and opinions help to shape our strategies, and
we'll be seeking more from you in the future. Thank you!

NEW WASHINGTON WILDERNESS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
America's brand new wilderness, dubbed Wild Sky, can be found on
the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest north of Seattle.
It's Washington's first newly-designated wilderness in more than
20 years. It includes pristine lowland valleys, large stands of
old growth forests and a handful of Washington's famous wild
rivers. This is the culmination of a multi-year effort, and the
WildAlert community has played an important role in gaining
passage for this bill. Truly, this is something to celebrate!

A new video about Gates of the Arctic National Park in Alaska
will be shown on many PBS stations this summer. The park's
creation was due in part to the actions of Wilderness Society
giants Bob Marshall and Mardy and Olaus Murie. If you'd like to
see it, go to your PBS station's web site and search on "Gates
of the Arctic."
