Sicilianews24.it: Alannah Hurley, vincitrice del Goldman Prize, combatte contro Pebble Mine con amore e determinazione.

Premiato l’impegno di Alannah Acaq Hurley contro Pebble Mine
Alannah Acaq Hurley, direttrice esecutiva delle United Tribes of Bristol Bay, ha ricevuto il Goldman Environmental Prize per il suo operato nella lotta contro quello che sarebbe diventato il più grande cantiere minerario a cielo aperto del Nord America, conosciuto come Pebble Mine. Questa miniera, proposta nel 2001, è stata bocciata nel 2023 dalla Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) per il suo alto rischio per la ricca pesca salmonicola di Bristol Bay, situata nel sud-est dell’Alaska. Quest’anno, il Dipartimento di Giustizia ha ulteriormente supportato il veto in tribunale.
In un’intervista con Mongabay, Hurley ha parlato del percorso lungo e tortuoso intrapreso insieme alla coalizione delle United Tribes of Bristol Bay per fermare Pebble, sottolineando anche le sfide che li attendono mentre la battaglia si sposta in aula e mentre UTBB cerca di ottenere protezioni più ampie per il bacino idrico di Bristol Bay.

Alannah Acaq Hurley Awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for Her Work Against Pebble Mine

Alannah Acaq Hurley, executive director of the United Tribes of Bristol Bay, received the Goldman Environmental Prize for her work in fighting what would have become the largest open-pit mine in North America, known as Pebble Mine. This mine, proposed in 2001, was rejected in 2023 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to its high risk to the rich salmon fishery of Bristol Bay, located in Southeast Alaska. This year, the Department of Justice further supported the veto in court.

In an interview with Mongabay, Hurley discussed the long and winding path taken together with the coalition of the United Tribes of Bristol Bay to stop Pebble, also highlighting the challenges that await them as the battle moves to court and as UTBB seeks broader protections for the Bristol Bay watershed.

🐋🌊 New #research into #Alaska's #BristolBay beluga whales reveals a surprising social strategy. Instead of a few dominant males, these long-lived #whales take a "plenty of #fish in the sea" approach, frequently switching partners to maintain genetic #health.

This flexible mating system helps their small, isolated population avoid inbreeding.
