Cynthia Carroll promised to back out of the Pebble Mine project if communities opposed it.

"I will not go where people don't want us. I just won't. We've got enough on our plate without having communities against us." --Anglo American CEO Cynthia Carroll in Fast Company online magazine

Communities do oppose it.

80% of Bristol Bay residents oppose the mine. These are the communities whose lives and livelihoods are threatened by the Pebble Mine.

Show your support for the local people of Bristol Bay in resisting the mine.

Your Letter:

Dear Ms. Carroll,

I am writing to you to express my support for local efforts to protect Bristol Bay, Alaska, from the proposed Pebble Mine.

Alaska’s Bristol Bay watershed is an ecosystem of international significance, supporting the world’s largest remaining wild – and sustainable – sockeye salmon fishery, producing roughly 1/3 - 1/2 of the world’s commercial sockeye salmon. The U.K. is the largest importer of canned Bristol Bay salmon, importing 10,000 metric tons a year, worth on average over £30 million.

In many parts of the world, salmon populations are suffering serious decline from habitat loss and pollution. Yet the Bristol Bay watershed, with its undeveloped landscape and pristine rivers, still supports a world-class fishery. Tens of millions of salmon spawn in these rivers every year - like no other place on earth - supporting a multitude of wildlife, Alaska native communities, a hard-working commercial fishing industry, and seafood consumers around the world.

This is no place for a massive open pit mining operation. I urge Anglo American to recognize the international significance of Alaska's Bristol Bay, and forego the Pebble Mine project.

Furthermore, Anglo American has failed to secure a ‘social license’ to operate in Bristol Bay. As CEO of Anglo American you are on record as saying:

"I will not go where people don't want us.  I just won't. We've got enough on our plate without having communities against us."

80% of Bristol Bay residents oppose the mine. These are the communities whose lives and livelihoods are threatened by the Pebble Mine.

Please honor your promise, and pull Anglo American plc out of the Pebble Mine project.
  
Sincerely,

Cynthia Carroll

The award-winning documentary, Red Gold, follows the world's largest run of sockeye salmon from Alaska's Bristol Bay to their natal spawning grounds. The film weaves in the extraordinary stories of the Alaska Native people and commercial fishermen whose lives and traditions the salmon sustain. The proposed Pebble mine, a massive gold-copper-molybdenum deposit, now threatens to devastate those pristine spawning grounds.
