1. ACTION ALERT: SAVE VAST KOREAN WETLAND/TIDAL FLAT

TAKE ACTION: Save Vast Korean Wetland/Tidal Flat
http://forests.org/emailaction/south_korea.htm
On June 5 the president of South Korea is expected to announce whether his
government will permit the destruction of one of the world’s most
ecologically important tidal flats. Saemangeum is a huge tidal flat and
wetland on Korea’s west coast. A government project seeks to destroy these
huge tidal flats and adjacent marine area by cutting it off with a 33
kilometer long dike/dam in order to undertake the largest land reclamation
project in the world.
Most South Korean citizens oppose this project, and it has been condemned
by environmental organizations worldwide. Religious leaders are only now
finishing a 350 kilometer “Three-steps-one-Bow” March. Every third step
they fall to their knees and bow their heads to the ground. They will reach
Seoul on May 31st, to be joined by a massive rally. June 5th is Environment
Day in Korea, and many expect President Roo Moo Hyun to say something about
Saemangeum. Please demand that the President cancel this poorly conceived
project by responding to this alert:
