We Must Protect Bristol Bay from the Pebble Mine — Courtroom
Fight Imminent!

Northern Dynasty — the Canadian mining company behind the
Pebble Mine project — is preparing to sue the EPA to force
through its catastrophic gold and copper mine at the headwaters
of Alaska's Bristol Bay.

NRDC is mobilizing to hit back hard in court and defend the
people and wildlife of Bristol Bay, but we need your support.

Help us reach our goal of raising $100,000 to mount the
strongest possible defense against this assault on Alaska and our
environment! ( [link removed] )

Dear NRDC Activist,

You thought the Pebble Mine project was gone for good?
Think again. As you read this, Canadian mining company Northern
Dynasty is marshaling resources to mount an outrageous lawsuit
against the Environmental Protection Agency after the agency
acted to veto the wilderness-wrecking open-pit gold and copper
Pebble Mine.

This is just one of many attacks aimed at Alaska. But just
as NRDC rushed to court to stop the disastrous Willow oil
drilling project from devastating the Arctic wilderness, so too
must we be ready to launch a hard-hitting legal counteroffensive
the minute Northern Dynasty files suit to shred the EPA's
wilderness-saving protections. We can't leave anything to chance
— will you help us with a small gift?

Donate just $5 now to help us wage the most effective
defense of the EPA's protections in court, continue our fight to
block the Willow Project, and defend Alaska and our environment
on all fronts. Your $5 gift today can help us reach our $100,000
goal by the March 31 deadline, so please chip in what you can. ( [link removed] )

For more than two decades, the Indigenous communities of
Bristol Bay — backed by the unwavering support of NRDC — have
been fighting to secure permanent protections to prevent
mega-mines like Pebble from destroying Bristol Bay and its wild
salmon.

And it's no secret why: Bristol Bay is a rare, natural
treasure that's thriving. Last year, a record-breaking 78 million
wild salmon returned to Bristol Bay, helping to sustain the
region's abundant wildlife and a $2.2 billion fishery that
supports 15,000 jobs.

But if Northern Dynasty's impending lawsuit is successful,
we could see the construction of a fully realized Pebble Mine
that would generate a staggering 10 billion tons of mining waste.

And where would that toxic tsunami of waste go? It would be
piled behind enormous earthen dams built on the headwaters of the
greatest wild salmon runs on the planet. There is no time to
waste. ( [link removed] )

Rush an emergency, tax-deductible gift of just $5 today so
that we can face down Northern Dynasty Minerals and defend our
environment in the most effective way possible. ( [link removed] )

Northern Dynasty is preparing to put up one hell of a fight
to keep its nightmare vision of this mega-mine alive.

As soon as the company learned that the EPA was poised to
veto the Pebble Mine, it lawyered up with one of Washington's top
white-shoe lobbying firms. This is on top of the $60 million the
company announced it would receive from an undisclosed dark-horse
investor over the next two years to fuel its courtroom campaign
to torpedo these hard-won protections.

But while Northern Dynasty may have secret, dark-horse
investors, it will never be able to bring back the Pebble Mine —
not as long as we continue to have your unwavering support during
these decisive moments.

Please help us prepare for a courtroom showdown against
Northern Dynasty to save Bristol Bay and put an end to the Pebble
Mine once and for all by making an emergency contribution today.
Reaching our $100,000 goal will help us stop this and other
threats against Alaska, and help defend our environment on all
fronts. Every little bit counts — even just $5. ( [link removed] )

Thank you for making sure that we do not fall short at this
make-or-break moment.

Sincerely,

Joel Reynolds

Senior Attorney, NRDC
