Pebble Mine, Alaska
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Bristol Bay, one of Alaska’s most treasured natural wonders, is under threat. It’s home to an irreplaceable ecosystem and one of the last salmon strongholds. Not only that, its iconic wildlife has sprung up a sustainable tourism industry which effects thousands of Alaskan livelihoods.
All of this is under threat if the Pebble Mine moves forward. The recent approval of the environmental impact statement has made it clear that our voices need to be heard.
Nature and people can’t live without fresh water, and Bristol Bay is the lifeblood that sustains every species calling the region home. On a recent trip to Alaska, the #BDTeam and WWF Ambassador, Jeremy Jauncey, learned firsthand about the conservation community’s fight against Pebble Mine.

TAKE ACTION:
Tell EPA to VETO the Pebble Mine.
Despite the threat of a mining disaster in Bristol Bay, Pebble Mine permitting has been rushed through at record speed. The final environmental review for Pebble Mine was released on July 23 2020 and the US Army Corps can issue a record of decision and permit the mine after 30 days. Now is the time to make our opposition to Pebble Mine heard.
Call the EPA Regional Director Chris Hladick and Alaskan Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan and tell them to do everything in their power to push the EPA to veto the Pebble Mine.
The EPA has a responsibility to protect Bristol Bay communities and must veto the Pebble Mine.

Co-existence can take place in harmony, as per he Environmental Report. We need the mine for Alaska and America.
David Paul no it’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of when the mine pollutes the water kills the fish and a way of life that has gone on for thousands of years
@@huntergraves4119 and you know this will happen because....
The proposed mine would use zero cyanide, no harm to fish, this has been a political debate that is actually more broad than Pebble and the last 20 years. The very purchase of Alaska from Alexander and Russia after the cw brought America to the front center bc they knew it was loaded with resources. Biggest regret Russia ever made, and soon they will see why.
One sided point of view.. Ignores 2000 pages of how there will be minimal to zero impact on the environment.
It is a beautiful area and I appreciate your opinion. I was waiting for a substantial argument but I only saw a couple of interviews with fishermen. I hope this wasn't your Master's Thesis for Environmental "Whatever" class. If it was for your video making class you might be fine. Unfortunately, you fail to acknowledge that the US Army Corps of Engineers, the quintessential Environmental Engineering Team on the Earth, has stated that “IMPACTS TO BRISTOL BAY SALMON ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE MEASURABLE”. Your data is based upon conjecture and pseudo-science and your thesis is unsupported. You might want to submit a video which actually attempts to refute the USACE EIS Statement based upon actual science?
@@q187k You cannot slow down legitimate progress with an "I think." You have no probable cause and no one will take you seriously unless you have something tangible. Pebble will receive a Record of Decision and permit.
@@q187k You're using red herrings to defend salmon. 😆
@@q187k Appeal to authority now? How many fallacies are you going to throw at me? If you would actually read the mine plan and make an attempt at intellectual honesty, you would realize how absurd you sound. If you don't understand the plan in question or you don't understand the science behind the safeguards in place, you're simply assisting in the spread of misinformation. Please stop perpetuating falsehoods.
@@q187k So no scientists work for USACE? My bioengineer inspector friend isn't a scientist? She's biased? Ok got it.
Good thing that professional scientists and engineers have almost finished an unbiased 2.5 year comprehensive analysis of the proposed mine plan and stated that it would have no substantial impact to the fishery or bear populations. This video didn't show the mine site one time, which is located in a tundra wilderness over 100 miles from Bristol Bay. To anyone who has been following the analysis and review of the NEPA process for this mine it's clear that this video is deceptive and agenda driven - not unbiased and truthful.
@@q187k What of the bear habitat and salmon run? Neither will be effected to any measurable degree.
@@q187k please name this 'solo investor'... Because thats not even close to truth.
@@q187k The "investor" is the CEO. You have to work very hard and leverage the most current technological advancements in order to build a mine plan that is safe for the environment. This is why he will be paid a bonus. Do you even know who the CEO is or what his history is in the industry?
@@q187k Be careful what you read these days, lots of misinformation being spread. There is logical and scientific reasoning behind why the Pebble Project has undergone such a rigorous environmental impact study. The goal is to determine if the mine plan will cause harm to the local ecology. The 2 1/2 year, legal process has completed and the facts land on the side of a mine at Pebble not being a change agent for the detriment of the environment. The 2,000+ page report is readily available to all who are inclined to read at the USACOE's website.
The fact is, we need copper to fuel a low carbon, green future. 75% of the copper we procure comes from mines outside the US where environmental and social harm is committed on a daily basis. The US legal system around mining is the most rigorous, eco-friendly, and socially responsible system in the world. If the mine plan can hold up against this system, it deserves a permit.
HOW MUCH IS PEBBLE IN THE HOLE FOR TO PAY OFF LOBBYISTS AND CORRUPT POLITICIANS?!
They apparently haven't read the final Environmental Impact Statement done by the US Army Corps of Engineers, released on July 24th, 2020. There isn't expected to be any measurable impact on salmon populations due to the current alternative plans laid out in the report. They have given their approval for permitting the mine. It will not have any damaging affect on the fishery industry.
This film is entirely anti-science alarmism at this point.
Its because they don't agree with the science. Therefore they can't accept it.
@@melissawalach5012 What precisely do they not agree with? The report is over 2000 pages. You cannot simply just disregard the entire thing without specifics.
@@q187k That wouldn't be very likely unless there were a massive catastrophic natural disaster. In 1912 a volcano went off and didn't destroy the bay. They've had massive earthquakes that didn't ruin the bay... All within the last century pretty much.
The mine isn't going to ruin anything. Read the actual report, not what others are misquoting from it.
@@q187k The EPA has also said they're not going to stand in the way. Doing so in 2011 was actually illegal and they lost in court.
@@q187k Well I can tell you haven't read a thing about it outside of someone else's uninformed opinion, and no matter how ridiculous you must sound to oppose this mine, you've already dug in and that's where you will stay. It's all just politics, not science. You don't know the specifics and think you know every possible configuration for a mine?
You are full of shit.
Hey WWF! You want to keep the mine from being built? Put in a bid to buy the mineral rights! Do it the honorable way.
oh yeah because there pockets are as deep as corrupt politicians and lobbyists lol, grow up!
No mention of how destructive the salmon fisheries are in this area of the world?
@@q187k Yes, avoid providing evidence by changing the topic. You're on a roll.
First time I heard about this mine was when I was working in Naknek, Alaska at Leader Creek Fisheries... you see those No to Pebble Mine signs everywhere. And that’s great.
Scam, Fish is killed every day by fisherman and not but the mine. Mine will be helping the community and the people and making USA strong in the international arena
You can eat the Salmon and they return every year...you cannot say that about the mine!! We cannot replace the Salmon but we can reject the mine!
What an entertaining piece of fiction!
Good job, but I have to be honest - the audio / voiceover in many areas was way too low and didn't sound good. So, the sound design could've been better, and I say that in kindness and out of respect because the story and message was great!
Too bad you didn't interview or even remotely show the area that will be mined. Pretty video though.
Completely off-topic, I know, but does anyone know where he got that jacket from?
Many fishing jobs in Bristol Bay are seasonal. Mine workers would make $100,000 salaries during Pebble's proposed 20-year operating period.
You have no clue how Ecosystems work
Hey Jupiter, 5 grand a year? In Alaska?
Slowly but surely replacing the discovery channel
In the video, it is not a mine, but a landscape of Mother Nature.
Stop developing a mine that was cleared by the US Army Corps of Engineers because it affects the "bear viewing" industry.... You've got to be fucking kidding me.
This video is bullshit. Look into the actual reports not just listen to this extremely biased guy, and specifically chosen “experts” ... who when all put into this “cute” video together with dramatic music and bears running in water, try to make you feel like building society and the economy to be better is a bad thing. The worlds gotta move on, and “protecting” certain animals for their own righteousness isn’t going to give people real jobs, build their economies, or feed people who are hungry. Exploration, innovation, etc are the reasons you live in the world you so much enjoy. Don’t be a hypocrite. If you’re against it all, you might as well go live in the wild otherwise you are just a contradiction to your own “righteous” cause. Think objectively not with your emotions, North America needs this mine, and it’s going to be built, wake tf up.
Oh man another beautiful destination classic! 😍 Your videos are literally what inspired me to start filming! Hope to edit short films like this soon! ❤️
i hope you do... With much success and much more truthfulness than this video though.
Its gonna happen
Nicely documented. Thanks for sharing this.
Always loved your works. Big fan from India...❤️
Volume sucks
I live in Alaska and any one that's for the mine is either making money from it, profiting in some way or plans to... any one with ½ a brain cell in there head can see just how ignorant the open pit and road are! But where there's greed there's people willing to sell their kids future for some insignificant pice of it.

Ever heard of the 9.0 Magnitude earthquake in Anchorage in 1964? Look it up. Then try to tell yourself the Pebble Mine is a good idea.
Bear Live Matter
Shotss😍
More of this please!
Why are fishermen killing all the fish.... this must STOP!
When has local natives who are directly impacted and their way of life threatened actually benefited from any major mining project anywhere? Stop the lies and propaganda that the mine will help natives when it is pitting native corporations AGAINST one another!
Pretty sure China & Russia would love it lol 🇺🇸
This comment section has no idea how ecosystems work
So glad the Pebble Partnership CEO Thomas C. Collier has resigned in disgrace. I know the man, not one of character, the stories I could tell.
All of us can eat the Salmon from Bristol Bay, not everyone will benefit from the toxic waste Superfund Site strip mine!
So he wants congress to pause this and do a study? Since when has congress studied anything without presumed conclusions? A WWF person trusting the government? His concerns may be legitimate but he is only looking at the bias.
Beautiful destination
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing!
Nice footage. But total BS and not based in facts.
Really much appreciated, you guys are working more on social issues than normal travel videos. Keep up.
Amazing video 🏔⛰♥
This was ♥️
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Amazing
Wooooww.....I love your work. There is so much to learn. Keep uploading!!!
amazing from Mexico
😍😍😍

Save the environment & keep clean..
Agreed! Northern Dynasty has provided an impressively eco-friendly mine plan. The world needs more mines like the one proposed by Northern Dynasty at Pebble in order to keep our environment clean!
Our Greed Will Be The End Of Us
So they should stop over fishing to sell the fish. Thats greedy and they are making profit by your logic. They should just fish enough for food. No profit because profit=greed correct? So wanting a decent career and to contribute to society makes everyone greedy. Everyone needs energy. Everyone needs resources. We are consumers after all!
#RightMineRightTime, you want China to destroy the environment or Americans to mine responsibly?
@@q187k The Pebble deposit is in Alaska. Whoever owns the mine will be subject to US law and no foreign tariffs can be imposed.
Obvious propaganda with the model in the leather jacket interviewing biased sources
Also, the EPA did not “fast-track” this mine; this is a blatant lie.
Matt Leach challenge what exactly?
@@q187k you repeat yourself on every comment. This video interview of a fisherman is so full of false opinions it's unwatchable. I made it through it though. I have it a chance. An honest chance that someone from the area of the mine or an engineer or even a photo of the area would be used. They didn't do any of that. Why?
THEY PAID LOBBYISTS AND CORRUPT POLITICIANS
What exactly is an extensive time frame to study an ecological resource that is the LAST ONE OF ITS KIND ON THE PLANET?!
So according to your failed logic, repeating catastrophic failures and expecting different results without recognizing the insanity of it all is what exactly?!
EPA did not “Fast-Track”. The Army Corps of Engineers spent 2.5 YEARS doing scientific, non bias, research from everything down to salmon count, soil PH, wildlife health, ecosystem impact, and even economic well-being. Not only was there a conclusion of a non-noticeable impact on the surrounding area, but a significant improvement in the economic conditions of the area. Pebble would not damage the environment and would bring HUNDREDS of families out of poverty. This is unequivocally propaganda in its simplest form. Please do some research.
@@q187k There is no basis or standard
against which to claim the Pebble Project EIS process has been expedited or scientific rigor sacrificed. In fact, the USACE’s timeline and comprehensiveness have been appropriate for a project like Pebble. The
USACE has extended the process to allow more time for public comments and is behind its originally planned schedule to release a Record of Decision in early 2020. And a two and a half year NEPA review process is hardly “expedited.”
Talk about propaganda!! When has any mining project brought the local natives they were directly impacting an actual income?! Talk about lies! Natives are the LAST TO WIN in any corporations dealing!
LOL you think the rich out of staters are gonna do your family good? they will misuse and abuse you until there is nothing left to mind, all your children will have lung diseases from working in the dangerously toxic mines...... is that really the future of Alaska you want?
Yea 20 years is not "fast tracked" lol. Maybe if they didn't do a preemptive veto the ACOE could have done their job years ago. But maybe they were worried even back then that the same conclusion would be found. 🤔
If it was such a good idea they wouldn’t have to have spent BILLIONS on lobbyists and promises to corrupt bought and paid for Politicians and now you trust they have enough to spend on quality?! HOW STUPID ARE YOU PEOPLE?!!
Half of those shots were from Homer, not Bristol bay
This is BS. A serious evaluation has already been done. This will not destroy the salmon spawning grounds and roads have no affect on bears. They cross them all the time. What a dumb thing for that guy to say.
We bought Alaska from Russia for the natural resources and minerals the land provides. Everybody wants to buy all the things they need but they don’t realize that the materials have to come from somewhere. And nobody wants a mine in there backyard.
It’s a tough situation no real answer unfortunately
Unnecessary music ... Loud music. Couldn't pick up most of what he said.
To avoid contaminating the entire watershed, not just the mine site, millions of tons of toxic waste water needs to be continually pumped out of the pit for ETERNITY.
What could possibly go wrong with that?
Similar risk assessment to storing nuclear waste on site at Fukushima, right on a coastline known to experience massive earthquakes and tsunamis.
The army corps of engineers thought that straightening the Kissimmee river to south Florida would help ease the water issues down there. It only created a polluted problem for the lake and Everglades. They are now putting the river back to it’s natural flow. My only thought is that the corps don’t always think things through.
and think how much money that's costing us TAX PAYERS, if they would of left the everglades alone we would not be in this position. money hungry grubbers
Let's get it. I am going long on this stock. 41 cent a share buy buy buy
Nicely
*Alaska 😳😳😳😮😮*
done
Is there anything people outside the US can do to stop this, like can we sign somewhere or something?😅 Really hope they won't go forward with the mine😓😓
@Olga Macrimek They won't because these people are too ignorant and don't want to do their due diligence and follow the money trail of these environmentalist organizations which are run by con artists, who are in it for their own self interests. The sheep just follow based on ideological virtue signaling.
You had your chance during the public comment period. I guess these issues aren't important until the company involved is about to get a permit. If you're just now hearing about Pebble, you should do more research and find out why it's about to get the green light from the EPA and ACoE before passing judgement.
Yes... You can disconnect all electronic devices and live in the woods on veggie gardens
Amazing film guys, everyone should know about this❤️
❤
I want to film for you guys! Any openings?
Love 💕 this video. Thank you 🙏
Great to see you giving a voice to the stories like this that really matter Jeremy. This is super important and I believe your platform can really help! Good on you. I thought this was one of the best films to date on BD.
One small thing - from a filmmaking perspective, I think the audio on some of the voiceovers and pieces to camera was too low in volume/out of balance with the music and sound design. Just some feedback for next time! Looking forward to seeing what else you produce :)
Amazing, learned lot of things from this, great job💯
