The Trump administration announced yesterday its planned reversal on the
controversial Pebble Mine -- a proposed gold and copper mine in the headwaters of Alaska’s Bristol Bay.
Both the Pebble Mine and the Twin Metals project were terminated by the Obama administration because of the threat they posed to unique ecosystems and habitat, Bristol Bay in Alaska and the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. Trump reversed both decisions and pushed the risky mines forward.

However, this month, Trump’s son, Don Jr., tweeted his support for protecting Bristol Bay. Now Trump is planning to stop the Pebble mine because his son and Fox News personalities weighed in on the side of protecting Bristol Bay. Protecting Bristol Bay is right, and the science shows that. Science, not the whims of the elite well-connected, should guide these policies.

“America's public lands policy should be grounded in science and the law, not on access to the President and his family." said Becky Rom, National Chair of the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters. “Minnesota's Boundary Waters Wilderness and Alaska's Bristol Bay are both priceless ecosystems and both deserve protection. ”
Demand the same protection for the Boundary Waters as Bristol Bay by contacting your member of the US House of Representatives asking them to protect Minnesota’s Boundary Waters from sulfide-ore copper mining.
