Teghut’s forest is located in Armenia and is an ancient, pristine forest in a largely deforested nation. Over 1,500 acres of this forest is about to be destroyed to accommodate a massive, open-pit copper mine.
Environmental activists in Armenia are trying to battle the mine, but without the freedoms of speech to which we in the U.S. are accustomed, and with a government openly siding with industry, they need outside pressure to make their path easier.
Send a message to the U.S. ambassador to Armenia, asking him to stand up for Armenian protestors, and the forest. Your message will be cc’d to the Armenian government so that it knows people in the U.S. are paying attention to Teghut forest and the activists in Armenia trying to save it.
