Opponents of the development of the world's largest gold mine, in Alaska's Bristol Bay, have said they will continue to fight the project. A spokesman for indigenous Alaskans said there is still a danger that the Pebble Mine would go ahead despite British mining company Anglo American pulling out of the development last month. Ron Thiessen, CEO of the Northern Dynasty Minerals, the remaining developer, has issued a statement saying the plans for the mine would continue. The controversial Pebble Mine project would see the opening of vast open-pit gold and copper mines along tundra located 200 miles.... http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/21/alaska-bristol-bay-gold-mine-pebble

At the recent Iceland meeting of Arctic leaders, Greenpeace Executive Director Kumi Naidoo lobbied for the release of the 28 activists and two freelance journalists being held on charges of piracy following a protest staged on a Russian-owned oil rig in the Arctic. He rallied the crowd against Russian Arctic explorer Artur Chilingarov, asking him to publicly agree that the arrest of the activists is a violation of the Human Rights Act.

Fuzzy math of Alaska subsistence: Too many people, not enough fish, game
Craig Medred
October 20, 2013
Alaska's long, difficult, subsistence struggle was back before the Alaska Boards of Fish and Game last week with the many competing interests trying to paint the kaleidoscope black and white. Urban Alaska hunters and anglers often seem unable to grasp that subsistence is a touchstone for Alaska Natives, especially older Natives, watching the younger generation teased into the American melting pot by the attractions of TV and the Internet. Rural Alaskans, meanwhile, particularly rural Natives, seem unwilling to recognize that the subsistence priority afforded rural communities leaves some urban Alaskans feeling like second-class citizens. People who grew up hunting and fishing can struggle to hang onto their last contact with hunter-gatherer culture. They suffer at the idea of being denied hunting and fishing opportunities so others can be guaranteed such opportunities..... http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20131020/fuzzy-math-alaska-subsistence-too-many-people-not-enough-fish-game
