Ενημέρωση Ενάντια στην Κακομεταχείρηση των Ζώων: APPEAL TO NON-GREEK NATIONALS

CAMPAIGN FOR THE GREEK FORESTS AND WILD ANIMALS

As you may be aware, the worst forest fire in more than a decade ravaged some 3,000 hectares of Mount Parnitha, one of the few oases of green in Attica's concrete jungle. Mount Parnitha was crucial for the climate of the city.

More than 300 fires have broken out in Greece at the end of June 2007, fueling speculation that some were the work of arsonists. For more information read also the BBC news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6252676.stm
We kindly request from you as citizens of Europe and this World to:

1. JOIN our PROTEST against the burning of Greek forests and their wild life;
2. DEMAND from your Embassies in Greece to push the Greek Government for action;
3. PROTEST at the Greek Embassy in your country;
4. DEMAND from the Greek Government to take responsibility for their CRIMINAL NEGLECT and lack of action.

HOW TO HELP US:

Please take the time to write a letter or send an email to:

1. ASK the Greek Government and the Greek Parliament to assume their responsibilities for the criminal failure to put the fires down in a timely manner;
2. DEMAND from the Greek Government and the Greek Parliament to organise ASAP an effective action plan to stop other similar destructions and to apply reforestation for the destroyed areas and care for the wild life that has survived.
Please send your letters/emails to the Greek National Tourism Offices in your country, the Greek Embassies in your country, your Embassies in Greece, the Greek Government and the European Parliament.
Please forward our cry for help to e-lists and fora that care for animals and the environment.
