Pebble’s road and port run right through the best bear habitat in the world.
Proximity
Both of Pebble’s alternative routes would be disastrous to the bears of the Alaska Peninsula. The southern route ends 11 miles from largest congregation of bears on earth. The northern alternative passes 11 miles from Chinitna Bay, the most popular bear viewing destination in Lake Clark National Park.

McNeil Bears are not just McNeil Bears
McNeil bears need to cover lots of ground and utilize different habitats over the course of the summer.
