The battle is hot!

We would appreciate your prayers and support for our campaign in defence of the most beautiful area in our region: Jabre Peak - the highest point in the State of Paraíba. Owing to its height the vegetation is different with a more humid atmosphere and thus the fauna is richer too. However the promised protection for this very special area (promised in the State Government decree of 2002!) has not been forthcoming. Hence we have lots of illegal and enormous antenas on top of the peak, ruining its beauty. We also have hunting and trapping for later selling of wildlife totally out of control, logging is also occurring as is the proliferation of rubbish by the visitors, hunters etc.

The battle is hot on the matter as I have had discussions with the State Governor and County authorities. There are vested interests in the status quo from some quarters. So to increase pressure on the Government to ACT I started an online petition last night which already has 250 signatures. Please help us by signing the online petition no matter where you live if you love God's creation and believe it is right to defend it. All you need is to give your name and email to sign the online form.
