Dear NRDC Activist,
Alaska's pristine, wildlife-filled Bristol Bay is still under attack.
The Canadian mining company Northern Dynasty's Pebble Mine project is a
colossal, gold and copper mega-mine that threatens to destroy a crucial
watershed that is one of the last places on Earth where wild salmon still
thrive. We're fighting back, but we need your
help.
[ [link removed] ]Will you make a 3X matched, tax-deductible donation to NRDC today?
[ [link removed] ]Your gift of just $5 or more
will immediately help mobilize advocates
against the Pebble Mine, wage critical courtroom battles to protect
Bristol Bay, and defend our environment on every front. All gifts will be
matched 3X, up to our $100,000 goal, but ONLY UNTIL TOMORROW!
Bristol
Bay is a critical region that has supported the Native communities of the
region for centuries. Its watershed is an economic engine that supplies
more than half of the world's sockeye salmon, generating $2.2 billion in
revenue and 15,000 jobs annually.
Years of pressure from local Tribes, backed by hundreds of thousands of
NRDC supporters like you, have nearly put the Pebble Mine out of
commission once and for all. And we're calling on the EPA to use the Clean
Water Act to finalize protections for Bristol Bay by the end of the year.
But Northern Dynasty has secured a massive $60 million boost over the next
two years from an undisclosed dark-horse investor — and it's using this
cash infusion to keep fighting tooth and claw to force its
wilderness-wrecking mega-mine on the Tribal communities of Bristol Bay.
If and when the EPA finalizes the protections for Bristol Bay, we fully
expect Northern Dynasty to launch an aggressive legal assault on that
decision. [ [link removed] ]NRDC must be fully prepared to hit back hard in court!
[ [link removed] ]Make a tax-deductible donation today. We'll use those resources to go
to court as needed to protect Bristol Bay, and defend our environment on
every front. All gifts will be matched 3X, up to our $100,000 goal, but
ONLY until TOMORROW.
Pebble Mine cannot be allowed to go forward. If built, the mine would
produce up to 10 billion tons of mining waste, threatening the world's
largest wild sockeye salmon runs and the lives and livelihoods of the
regions Yup'ik, Dena'ina, and Alutiiq people.
We need to strike back to protect Bristol Bay, in court and beyond.
[ [link removed] ]Can you help protect Bristol Bay from this destructive pit once and for
all? Donate to NRDC today to have your gift matched to go THREE times as
far for the environment — but hurry, this match opportunity ends at
midnight tomorrow!
Thank you for your critical support in the fight to stop Pebble Mine.
Sincerely,
Taryn Kiekow Heimer
