Pebble Mine Petitions
Taking the Battle Over Pebble Mine to London
Last month, NRDC and a delegation of Bristol Bay leaders met with the new CEOs of Anglo American and Rio Tinto -- the global giants behind the Pebble Mine -- at their annual shareholder meetings in London. We presented more than 200,000 new petitions against the mine, which would devastate Alaska's Bristol Bay ecosystem. Our coalition also ran a full-page ad in the London Financial Times calling on the CEOs to abandon this project that threatens environmental and financial disaster.

New Proposal Threatens Wolf Recovery in America
The Obama Administration is about to release a proposal to strip wolves of their protection under the Endangered Species Act across most of the lower 48 states. We've already seen the deadly consequences of leaving wolves to the mercy of state management: more than 1,000 wolves have been killed in the Northern Rockies since they lost their federal protection. Wolves are depending on that protection to help them recover in places like the Pacific Northwest, California, Colorado, Utah and the Northeast. NRDC needs your support to fight this disastrous proposal, mobilize the public against it and challenge it in federal court, if necessary.

Threats to Wild Buffalo
Turned Back
In recent months, an alarming number of bills introduced in the Montana Legislature have targeted wild buffalo. One of the worst called for the immediate removal or slaughter of all buffalo that enter the state from Yellowstone. Our Montana Members helped fend off this and other dangerous bills by contacting their state legislators and governor. Bison
