Dear All,Over the past few weeks we have launched a campaign in
Mumbai to save Sewri Bay. We want a planned road
bridge development to be moved southwards to avoid the
bay which supports up to 20,000 flamingoes in winter,
including 15,000 Lesser Flamingoes (approx 12% of the
Asian population). The bridge plan has already been
approved but the Environmental Impact Assessment has
not even been made public. Building will start at the
end of the year.We really need your help to sign the petition and to
show that there is wide concern about this
development.Here is the link to the website and the petition.

If you have comments or advice or suggestions please
let me know.Thanks,
Tim
