Activists aiming to stop Lithium Americas' Thacker Pass open-pit lithium mine – what would be the United States' largest lithium mine, supplying up to 25% of the world's lithium – launched a permanent protest encampment hours after the Bureau of Land Management gave final approval to the mine on January 15. The Green Flame brings you the voices of land protectors Will Falk and Max Wilbert who mean to stay for as long as it takes to protect this old-growth sagebrush mountainside despite winter conditions at Thacker Pass. Rebecca Wildbear, river and soul guide, lover of the wild, joins us in honoring and calling for defense of the Great Basin, Thacker Pass and the whole of wild creation. Many thanks to Green Flame sound editor Iona and to the many non-human voices – Golden Eagle, Coyote, and Greater Sage Grouse – speaking to us in this Protect Thacker Pass episode of the Green Flame.
