Target: Michael S. Regan, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Goal: Prevent the approval of Pebble Mine and protect the pristine Bristol Bay ecosystem.
The Bristol Bay region, situated in Alaska, is undoubtedly one of the planet’s most crucial ecological treasures. Its pristine landscapes and rich biodiversity are emblematic of the untamed beauty that nature has to offer. However, the very essence of this extraordinary environment faces an alarming and imminent threat in the form of the proposed Pebble Mine project.
The Pebble Mine project, if allowed to proceed, would bring about the excavation of one of the world’s largest open-pit copper and gold mines within this pristine region. The ramifications of such an endeavor are profound. It would not only scar the untouched wilderness, but also pose a significant risk to the sensitive aquatic ecosystems that thrive in Bristol Bay. The potential for habitat destruction, water pollution, and irreversible damage to the fragile balance of this ecosystem is immense.
The Bristol Bay watershed is a haven for wildlife, including the world’s largest sockeye salmon run, which supports numerous communities and ecosystems. Pebble Mine’s potential environmental consequences are immense, with the risk of habitat destruction, pollution, and irreversible damage to this unique ecosystem.
Sign the petition below to demand that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) takes resolute action to deny the permits required for the Pebble Mine project and safeguard Bristol Bay for present and future generations.
