Pebble is the wrong mine in the wrong place - not just in the minds of local leaders, but in the consensus of EPA Administrators from every Republican Administration (but Ford) since EPA was created - Nixon, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush. According to Tiffany and Co., whose “No Pebble Pledge” has been joined by over 60 jewelers around the world, the question is “whether there are certain places where mining simply should never occur,” and its answer is “Alaska’s Bristol Bay is one such place.”

First Quantum ignores this history at its financial and reputational peril. If you proceed in disregard of the unavoidable risk to the greatest wild salmon fishery on Earth and the people and wildlife that depend on it - if you choose to become the financial angel of the uniquely reckless Pebble Mine - you do so with the knowledge that NRDC and the coalition of Alaska stakeholders that we support are committed to continue, for as long as necessary, doing whatever we can to ensure that Pebble is stopped, Bristol Bay is protected, and the watershed that feeds it doesn’t fall victim to the uncaring avarice of Northern Dynasty, First Quantum, and their shareholders.

We urge First Quantum to make the right choice by dissociating itself from this toxic project. We ask you to respect the overwhelming opposition unequivocally expressed over many years by the people of Bristol Bay, bearing in mind that, long after Northern Dynasty Minerals and First Quantum have left the scene, they are the ones who will have to live with the consequences of your actions.
