Awaaz Amazonas
10. maj 2012Amazon-området udgør verdens måske største grønne lunge, med en kolossal vigtighed for verdens biodiversitet og klimabalance. Men efter nogle få år, hvor skovfældningen så småt syntes at være ved at komme under kontrol, bliver der nu i et brasiliansk lovforslag lagt op til totalrydninger i hidtil uset omfang. Derfor har Awaaz har netop rundsendt denne opfordring til at stå bag en underskriftsindsamling om at få den nye lov omstødt:
The Brazilian Congress has just passed a catastrophic forestry bill that gives loggers and farmers free rein to cut down huge swaths of the Amazon. Now only President Dilma can stop it.
Fortunately, the timing is on our side – in weeks Dilma will host the world’s biggest environmental summit and insiders say she cannot afford to open it as the leader who approved the destruction of the rainforest. She’s facing mounting domestic pressure, with 79% of Brazilians rejecting this new bill. Now, if we join them we can turn up the global heat and push her to axe the bill, not the rainforest.
Dilma could make her decision any day. Let’s get her to veto the bill now. Use the online form to sign the urgent petition to stop the Amazon chainsaw massacre and if you have already signed – send this to everyone!
