The petition gathers momentum!
Today we managed to get both SPEA, (Sociedade Portuguesa para Protecção das Aves), and it’s better known counterpart the RSPB, to both publish articles with the petition link on their websites. SPEA’s is here and the RSPB’s here.
The petition’s numbers are climbing steadily; 4,320 now, and we should have breached the 5,000 mark by this time tomorrow – so let’s head for 10,000! And after that 20,000! Let’s really show these politicians and property developers that it’s OUR land too!
What next? I’m trying to get the Audubon Society involved and have written to and rung all their Press officers and editors. Does anyone have any contacts?
Also, does anyone have any UK media contacts? If so can you write to them – or if you haven’t got the time to, can you introduce me and I’ll do it? If we can get some Big Hitters involved … any help you can give us would be very gratefully appreciated.
See you the other side of 5 grand!
