Defender of
Wildlife,

A potential disaster is in store for one of our nation's largest
and most important wildlife refuges.

A mining company called Twin Pines Minerals is continuing its campaign
to strip mine for titanium on the edge of the unspoiled Okefenokee
National Wildlife Refuge, a wetland of international importance.

Florida black bears, herons, ibises, cranes, alligators and more are
all in danger if this project gets approval!

TAKE ACTION: Tell the US Army Corps of Engineers to reject plans to
strip mine at the edge of the Okefenokee Refuge.

Okefenokee is a place of stunning natural beauty. This refuge shelters
thousands of species living in the swamp's mosaic of cypress
forests, pine islands, lily ponds, blackwater channels and other
wildlife habitats. People come from all over the world to experience
the Okefenokee and its vast diversity of life.

That's why past efforts to despoil the near-pristine Okefenokee
were met with a huge national outcry.

But now the mining industry is back, and we need your help again:
They're proposing a smaller project area in a blatant attempt to
get around the environmental review process, with plans to expand in
the future.

We need your help again: Raise your voice and stop this sneak attack
on the Okefenokee!

Defender of
Wildlife, by signing today, you can
demand that the US Army Corps of Engineers holds Twin Pines
accountable for the damage their mine poses to the environment. Either
they must reject this permit altogether, or a full environmental
impact statement must be required!

Our wildlife and wild places are worth more than one company's
profits. Please take action now to stop this reckless plan from
damaging the Okefenokee!

PROTECT THE REFUGE >>
