[[link removed]]URGENT: PROTECT BROWN BEARS FROM A TOXIC, OPEN-PIT MINE
John,

Brown bears are now converging on the pristine rivers, streams, and wetlands of
Bristol Bay, Alaska to feed on sockeye salmon in preparation for a long winter
of hibernation. But unless we act now, that magnificent wilderness and its abundant fish and
wildlife will be devastated by one of the largest open-pit gold and copper mines
in North America.

Please speak out before the August 24th deadline to help stop the Pebble Mine
open-pit gold and copper mine.

Bristol Bay is a wildlife paradise. Along with brown bears, the bay's watershed
provides habitat for more than 190 species of birds, over 40 species of mammals,
and 29 species of fish. Bristol Bay also supports the most valuable wild salmon
fishery in the world, supplying almost half of the world's sockeye salmon.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans like you urged the Army Corps of Engineers
last year—and the Environmental Protection Agency three years ago—to protect
Bristol Bay's wildlife from the dangerous Pebble Mine. Instead, the Army Corps
of Engineers just finalized a deeply flawed and limited environmental review
that ignores the Pebble Mine's devastating impacts for brown bears and Bristol
Bay's rich fish and wildlife.

Tell the Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency — don't poison
the pristine Bristol Bay wilderness. Lend your voice to protect brown bears,
salmon, and a vast array of wildlife by sending a message TODAY

80 miles of roads, and 160 miles of pipelines will transform untouched habitat
into an industrial wasteland.

Pebble Mine will destroy 2,300 acres of wetlands, degrade an additional 10,000
acres, and destroy 105 miles of pristine salmon streams. Toxic chemicals from
mining waste will pollute the remaining rivers, streams, and wetlands that
bears, salmon, and hundreds of other wildlife species need to thrive. Alaska's
$1.5 billion commercial salmon and recreational sport fishing economies could
crash as salmon populations plummet.

The science clearly shows that the Pebble Mine poses unacceptable risks to
Bristol Bay wildlife. Take action today to protect Alaska's brown bears from toxic mining: tell the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency to stop Pebble
Mine.
