Sarah Palin and the Environment

Governor Sarah Palin has an extreme anti-conservation record on issues
ranging from global warming, energy and drilling to wildlife and
habitat protection.
Aerial hunting of wolves and bears

Governor Palin is an active promoter of Alaska's aerial hunting
program whereby wolves and bears are shot from the air or chased by
airplanes to the point of exhaustion before the pilot lands the plane
and a gunner shoots the animals point blank.

* * *

* * * Palin offered a $150 bounty for wolves to entice hunters to kill
more wolves in certain parts of the state, with hunters having to
present a wolf's foreleg to collect the bounty.
* * *

* * * She actively opposed a ballot measure campaign seeking to end
the aerial hunting of wolves by private hunters and approved a
$400,000 state-funded campaign aimed at swaying people's votes on the
issue.
* * *

* * * She also introduced legislation to make it easier to kill wolves
and bears and which would have also removed the aerial hunting
initiative from the ballot and block the ability of citizens to vote
on the issue.
* * *

* * * The Board of Game, which she appoints, has approved the killing
of black bear sows with cubs as part of the program and expanded the
aerial control programs.
* * *

* * * The media is currently looking into reports that state officials
implementing one of the aerial wolf killing programs illegally killed
five-week old wolf pups just outside their dens.

Global Warming

As recently as August 2008, Governor Palin questioned whether man-made
fossil fuel emissions are responsible for global warming, defying
worldwide scientific consensus (Newsmax 8/29/08). *And her drill-drill-
drill approach to energy issues will do nothing to ease the causes of
global warming, promote the use of clean, renewable energy sources, or
break our addiction to foreign oil.
Endangered Species

Palin has repeatedly opposed the listing of endangered animals under
the Endangered Species List despite overwhelming scientific evidence
that such listings are warranted.

* * Polar Bear

* * The U.S. Geological Survey predicts that loss of summer sea ice -
crucial habitat for polar bears - could lead to the demise of two-
thirds of the world's polar bears by mid-century, including all of
Alaska's polar bears. The Bush administration has proposed listing the
polar bears as threatened under the ESA to help protect polar bear
habitat from threats such as oil and gas development.

* * Governor Palin has actively opposed the listing of the polar bear
despite the fact that Alaska's top marine mammal biologists agreed
with the federal scientists who believed the bear should be listed.
She wrote the Secretary of Interior urging him not to list the bear on
the ground it might hurt the state's oil- and gas-dependent economy.
After the bear was listed, she recently filed suit seeking to overturn
the listing of polar bears.
* * Beluga Whales

* * Alaska's Cook Inlet beluga whales are a unique group of white
whales whose numbers have dramatically declined in the past two
decades due to pressures ranging from pollution to increased ship
traffic. Governor Palin opposes the listing of the Cook Inlet beluga
whales, citing the listing as a threat to oil and gas development,
despite their genetic uniqueness and the fact that their numbers have
decreased from 1,300 in the 1980s to about 350 today.

Drilling

Palin is a strong supporter of drilling in the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge, a vital wilderness area. *It is home to hundreds of
thousands of caribou who use the refuge as a calving ground, more than
one million migratory birds, and countless other wildlife. It's the
most important onshore denning habitat for female polar bears. Senator
McCain himself has repeatedly voted to protect this pristine
wilderness area. *Palin is also a supporter of drilling in Bristol Bay
and other offshore sites despite the risks to sensitive marine
wildlife in the area, including the endangered polar bear and Beluga
whale.
Clean Water and Pebble Mine

Governor Palin actively campaigned against a state ballot measure this
summer aimed at protecting Alaska's Bristol Bay. The mining industry
seeks to develop a gold and copper mine in the area that would pollute
the Bay's headwaters and threaten the spawning grounds for the largest
remaining wild salmon run. The initiative would have prevented large-
scale mining operations from dumping waste materials into salmon
watersheds.
