Wondering if any Nexians would be interested in showing their support and signing this petition?

"A beautiful, far-flung piece of the Amazonian rainforest is under threat— vast swathes of untouched land home to jaguars, cougars and a vast range of flora and fauna are at risk of being destroyed by illegal coca growers and loggers. But with a stroke of his pen, the Peruvian Prime Minister could turn it into a National Park and save it.

The bill to protect the forest is on his desk and PM Cateriano is considering signing it right now -- but every hour he doesn’t, this treasure is being destroyed. If he takes a stand against this illegal destruction, his leadership could inspire others to protect the planet and his example will echo down generations. But it’s up to us to make sure he knows that.

Activists in Peru say if Cateriano knows the whole world is supporting him, it will tip him to take action. Environmentalists and indigenous groups have been lobbying for twenty years to get this area protected. Let’s give it a final Avaaz push. Sign the petition, and Avaaz will deliver it directly to the Prime Minister’s office."

 
I'll sign, but if illegal coca growers aren't going to respect the laws against growing coca, why do we expect them to respect the laws against growing crops in a national park?

Maybe they'll ask nicely?

Signed.
 
Nice one peeps 8) A little while back I posted a similar petition on the Ayahuasca.com forums (I assumed ayahuasca peeps would be pretty supportive of Amazonian rainforest conservation) and for the most part I received pretty snooty replies about Avaaz being an entirely negative entity. I've not encountered a better community of peeps anywhere else than the Nexus, you guys rock :thumb_up:
