Support the Brazilian cavers in their fight to protect caves

Brazil has a problem of caves destruction - in November President Lula has signed a decree authorizing such destruction for any reasons of industrial exploitation (mining, water, rubbish, chemicals, agro-industry, etc). In the fight against this decree Brazilian cavers need any support available since this situation might happen soon in other Latin American countries. Many Latin American and European caving federations and organizations support the manifest of the Brazilian Speleological Society. Your organization and you personally also are able to support this manifest.

All the information on this issue is available in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

In case you want to support the Manifest as a organization write an email to sbe@sbe.com.br, informing the complete name of the institution, its site (if it has one), its e-mail and contact information.

In case you are not representing any organization and want to support the Brazilian cavers personally, sign the petition available online on the Brazilian website.
