Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Environmental Defense Action Network.The short explanation of this alert was: Throughout the Caribbean, mega resorts and hotels are proliferating, spoiling miles of pristine coastline and beaches. Now, major international hotel chains are threatening to develop some of Puerto Rico's last stretches of tropical coastline, publicly owned land known as the Northeastern Ecological Corridor (NEC). Although the NEC is home to sea turtles, manatees and rare tropical birds, it is not a nature reserve protected by Puerto Rico's government. Your help is urgently needed to protect this threatened coastline. Environmental Defense has joined efforts with Surfrider Foundation and "Guardaguas de Puerto Rico" and encourages you to urge the Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Scotiabank and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya not to build more unnecessary tourist resorts. Tell the island's government to protect the NEC as a nature reserve. If you would like to view details on this alert, please visit here. |
