forests and on BLM lands is protected for the enjoyment of current
and future generations.

Don't Buy Big Oil's Lies
While Americans pay dearly at the pump, Big Oil continues to rake in record-breaking profits. We're telling Congress that Americans won't stand for even more public land giveaways that offer no hope of lowering gas prices - now, or in the future. Check out the ads we ran in Congress Daily and Roll Call from July 22 - August 1.

Say No to Drilling in the Arctic Refuge
Big Oil is using scare tactics,
perpetuating a myth that they don’t have enough places
to drill so they should be able to destroy our most pristine
place – the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. See our full-page ad opposing Arctic Refuge drilling, published June 2008 in The Hill,
a Capitol Hill newspaper.

Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act Ads and Video
Our latest television ad is aimed at stopping aerial hunting of wolves. It ran on network television affiliates in Washington, DC around the date of the 2008 State of the Union address.
Watch the TV ad.
In January 2008, Defenders ran this ad in the Washington Post's Express, a publication with a daily circulation of nearly 206,000.
At the same time, our hard-hitting subway ads at the Capitol South Metro Station had Capitol
Hill talking.
See photos from the first day the ads were posted.
In September 2007, we published a series of
advertisements in Congress Daily, asking representatives to support
the PAW Act, which will put an end to aerial hunting of wolves and other animals.
View the PAW Act ads.
Watch our video to find out what aerial hunting is really like.

From the North Pole to the South Pole and everywhere in between, our planet is looking at an uncertain future because of global warming. Check out Defenders PSAs on the threats to Polar Bears and Penguins.
Endangered Species Ads and Public Service Announcements
Since 1973, the Endangered Species Act has served as a safety net for species on the brink. Thanks to the Act, the bald eagle, the American alligator, the brown pelican, the peregrine falcon, black footed ferrets, California condors, and many other species have had their march toward extinction halted.
Check out Defenders' print ads and PSAs lauding the success of this landmark legislation.
