It's about time someone cares about the wildlife again instead of what Big Oil wants. Wildlife may not be able to donate as much money to lobbying, but they give back a lot more.
The Obama administration said Thursday it is designating more than 200,000 square miles in Alaska and off its coast as "critical habitat" for polar bears, an action that could add restrictions to future offshore drilling for oil and gas.
Federal law prohibits agencies from taking actions that may adversely affect critical habitat and interfere with polar bear recovery.
