Nous lançons une alerte publique face au risque annoncé de rupture d’un des bassins TSF 5, TSF 3 de rétention de Tenke Fungurume Mining (TFM) situés à Kibalasani.

Nous exigeons que TFM sécurise immédiatement son bassin, avec un calendrier public de travaux, au lieu de demander aux populations de fuir lorsqu’elle voit les eaux polluantes arriver, et que le Gouvernement l’y contraigne par une inspection indépendante et des sanctions en cas de manquement.

3 belugas were found dead in Cook Inlet. Every death matters for this critically endangered population. Necropsies & research need sustained federal support so we can better assess beluga whale health & understand why they are struggling to recover. ow.ly/h8Rw50ZV7G6

alaskapublic.org 3 dead belugas seen days apart in Cook Inlet. It’s common, researchers say. Two of the belugas have been towed to shore for further investigation, but one has yet to come ashore. NOAA Fisheries is asking for anyone that sees the whale to call their 24-hour hotline.
