Please sign - keep coal power plants out of tiger country!
Dear friends of the rainforests,
The Sundarbans – the world’s most extensive mangrove forest – is a world of its own on the Bay of Bengal. A dwindling population of Bengal tigers roams the countless islands in the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers. Crocodiles, freshwater dolphins and Indian pythons are also at home in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
That may soon be history: the Rampal coal power plant is planned for a site only 14 kilometers from the mangroves in Bangladesh. Environmentalists fear that the plant would have a massive impact on the delicate Sundarbans ecosystem and push numerous species toward extinction.
The realization of the power plant depends on Exim Bank India, which is set to finance the project to the tune of $1.6 billion. Please stand up for the unique environment of the Sundarbans and tell Exim Bank India to withdraw from the project.
Thanks for being involved,
Reinhard Behrend
