Mangrove Action Day - a Global Call to Action!!! |
|
Please join us all on July 26, 2008 for the Annual Call On Mangrove Action Day! - this year's theme as announced by Red Manglar (Mangrove Network) in Latin America is "No more death, no more misery, no more shrimp farms, Long live the mangroves!!" MAP staff and volunteers based in Seattle area will be attending the Ballard Seafood Festival on July 26th, tabling this popular Seattle annual event and talking with consumers there about the problems of shrimp farming and associated mangrove loss worldwide. We will be promoting our "Shrimp Less, Think More" Consumer Awareness/ Markets Campaign. What will you or your organization be doing on this day? We are now collecting news about other planned events to commemorate the global call for action for the Mangroves that your organization is organizing for July 26th. Please write us to share your own plans for this international day for the mangroves! MAP wishes to lend our full support to the plans and actions of all our network members for Global Action on July 26th, 2008. We ask that you and/ or your organizations please join us all in a global protest against the ongoing losses of the mangrove forest ecosystems and the local communities that depend upon the mangroves for their lives and livelihoods. Please send us your regional or local plans for actions that are meant to commemorate this international Day for the Mangroves! We would like to again share your plans and ideas with our global network. We look forward to hearing from you soon in this regard! ======= Alfredo Quarto, Executive Director Mangrove Action Project PO Box 1854 Port Angeles, WA 98362-0279 USA phone/ fax (360) 452-5866 < This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it > mailto: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it web site: http://www.mangroveactionproject.org |
