Take Action - Save Australia's Flatback Sea Turtles

Take E action here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1723/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2960



The Australian flatback turtle and five other species of marine turtles have been forgotten in the fossil fuel frenzy occurring in the Northwest of Western Australia. Chevron is building natural gas refineries and pipelines through critical sea turtle habitat with little, if any, protections for nesting beaches and coastal waters. Urgent action is needed to stop the destructive expansion of natural gas extraction here before it is too late for the flatbacks.his is a flatback sea turtle on Barrow Island where Chevron has already broken ground on a massive natural gas refinery on top of a rookery for 1,000 nesting females. These same sea turtles swim north to the Kimberley region where Chevron and Big Oil are pushing to construct another massive natural gas plan.

Read more about Australia's sea turtles and the fossil fuel frenzy.

Urgent update: Expose Chevron's destruction of sea turtles and the environment. Contribute by May 1 to the printing of the Chevron Alernative Annual Report before the shareholder meeting in Houston in late May. Our goal is to raise $5,000 for the report and to participate in actions with the True Cost of Chevron coalition. We also plan to bring activists from Australia to the San Francisco Bay Area to tell their stories about the sea turtles and the threats from Chevron.
