Hi all –

Mumta Ito is a brilliant attorney who has been working tirelessly on this cause, which is described below.  They don’t have very many signatures on this and she could really use our help.  Mumta is a graduate of Larry Santoyo’s Permaculture Design Course.

 

Hi all,

Below is a petition for the BVI government showing support for the preservation of a rare ecological area of international importance that is being threatened by a large scale golf course and marina development. I am respresenting the charity that is opposing this development in court - it is the first environmental case in the BVI and will set an important precedent for the region going forward. Please support our cause by taking a few seconds to sign the petition. In the additional message box - please if you put "Please agree to quash to Beef Island planning consent without going to trial", it would be helpful for us!

Please also forward to as many people as you can so that we achieve our target of 10,000 signatures. Thank you for protecting the earth from unsuitable exploitation!

With kind regards,

Mumta

Care2 Action Alert


Hi [Name],

The beautiful and ecologically unique Beef Island in the British Virgin Islands is home to numerous plants and animals that contribute to the health of the marine area.
But a proposed five-star hotel, marina and golf course complex means a full two-thirds of the land on Beef Island would be developed!
Register your objection to this destructive development today! >>
Elusive Caribbean roseate flamingos, rare West Indian whistling-ducks, and white-cheeked pintail are just a few of the animals whose population numbers will drop if we don't act now.
If the development moves forward, precious wildlife habitat, including mangrove, salt pond, terrestrial, and coral reef habitats of Beef Island, could disappear forever.
The proposed golf course would be within a fisheries-protected area that has been identified as the only significant and most important nursery habitat in the entire eastern sector of the British Virgin Islands.
Tell the British Virgin Islands Premier you would rather visit an ecologically beautiful region than a resort that destroys natural habitat. Sign today >>
Thank you for protecting this important marine area.

From Care2


Warmly,
