Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today Goa is ravaged by Excessive Mining(mostly illegal) which is devastating Goa and there is no doubt that this destruction, feeds the huge lustful greed of most of the ruling Ministers and MLA's in Goa. You just have to see the papers on various ruling MLA's doing their utmost to support this devastation, so as to realise their respective illegitimate profits. The small part of the spoils of mining are used to but off voters via various forms of enticement to keep the Anti Goans in Power. They are distorting facts to support mining saying that it supports livelihoods. One thing is clear Goans have to choose between (A) Short term gains from mining or (B) Permanent long term destruction of Goa, its land, environment and water resources. What Goans do today will decide their fate tomorrow and should the Worse Happen; then there should be absolutely no sympathy for Goans because then, they would have brought about the catastrophe on themselves by either (1) Supporting Mining or (2) Keeping silent about it!!
