Federal approval of oil drilling in wilderness areas increases emissions and harms ecosystems. | The decision to open wilderness areas to oil drilling directly undermines climate action (SDG 13), harms biodiversity (SDG 15), and violates the rights of Indigenous peoples and future generations to a healthy environment. The magnitude of harm is severe due to the scale of land affected and the long-term environmental consequences.
