ACTION ALERT PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY! Madagascar: Daewoo's Rainforest Land Grab in Nature's Paradise By Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal with Rainforest Rescue http://www.rainforestportal.org/ & http://www.regenwald.org/international/englisch/ June 19, 2009 TAKE ACTION HERE NOW: http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=madagascar_landgrab The island of Madagascar is a veritable Noah's Ark of biodiversity, and this natural wealth is the country's primary treasure and opportunity for future ecologically sustainable development. The Korean company Daewoo Logistics intends to lease half the agricultural land in Madagascar for 99 years, industrially producing maize and palm oil on 1.3 million hectares that are now biodiversity rich rainforests and gardens. There already exists a severe food crisis nationally and local peoples, who are soon to be dispossessed from their land, are protesting, causing a major government crisis. Tell Daewoo the people of Madagascar have spoken -- and to shove off and leave Madagascar's rainforests, peoples and land alone.
