Retire the Bering Coalfields, Make History!
BERING RIVER COAL CONSERVATION INITIATIVE
The 11,920-acre coalfield remains vulnerable to development - Help us Keep Coal in the Ground
Retiring and conserving the Bering River coalfield is of global significance.
The Eyak Preservation Council is carrying the torch to take this over the finish line. Your name will be included in the roster of supporters as a Bering River Coalition Member.
Preserving and thereby removing all development threats (oil, gas, coal, clearcutting and roads) from the Copper River Delta will lead to the permanent protection of the entire three million-acre lower Copper River Watershed, one of the largest conservation opportunities anywhere. Success will protect jobs, recreational lands, subsistence rights and a world-renowned commercial fishing industry in Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. By combining Indigenous leadership, Native Corporations, a South Korean corporation, the State of Alaska, the USFS, foundations, national land trusts, regional grassroots endorsements, community and YOU – all working together for a common conservation goal. This unprecedented opportunity would present an example of cooperation for environmental preservation and model stewardship that can inspire a new generation of Indigenous and conservation leaders.
