The United States’ top environmental non-profit and a regional land trust have raised $20 million to permanently protect 44,000 acres at an Alaskan watershed, that could be another major roadblock for a controversial proposed mine.
The purchase will protect the land and water habitat northeast of Iliamna Lake of the Bristol Bay region, home to important salmon species including the world’s largest sockeye salmon fisheries that have supported critical wildlife and a multibillion-dollar industry. “We respect the rights of Alaska Native corporation shareholders to make decisions about what to do on their lands and hope the Biden administration will do the same for other Alaska Native corporation shareholders who may have differing views about what they would like do on their lands, especially regarding the Pebble Project,” said Mike Heatwole, a spokesperson for Northern Dynasty Minerals’ unit.
