Save the Blanding's Turtle

A new web site, savetheblandingsturtle.com has appeared to assist in the fighting the authorization of killing threatened species as requested by Gilead power Corporation.  The Environmental Registry's comment period on Gilead's application for a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) closes February 19th, 2012. 

Save the Blanding's Turtle |:
The government of Ontario is seriously considering allowing an private corporation to ‘kill, harm and harass threatened species’ that are protected by the Endangered Species Act, 2007 at Ostrander Point, in Prince Edward County.
Ostrander Point is an internationally recognized ‘Important Bird Area’ and home to the Blanding's Turtle and Whip poor will birds – both protected by the Endangered Species Act.
Gilead Power is actively seeking permission to ‘kill, harm and harass’ these species and ‘disrupt and destroy’ their habitat in the process.
They must be stopped. Please stand up for endangered species and the environment.
Visit savetheblandingsturtle.com for specific tools to assist in opposing Gilead's applications.
