Speak up: No to mining in Ilocos Norte!

Sign the petition to save Palawan

 I just signed the online petition to save Palawan’s forests from mining and you might want to sign as well.

You can sign it here: N0 2 MINING IN PALAWAN

National Geographic named Palawan as one of its top-20 destinations for 2011. It has 17 Key Biodiversity Areas and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites that are at risk from mining.

If we don’t do anything, the future for Palawan’s indigenous people and rare endemic species is bleak. Please sign the petition, then forward this email to some friends and ask them to do the same. We know the strength of People Power, now it’s time for Palawan Power!
