Subject: Help save a blue whale nursery off Patagonia


Dear NRDC BioGems Defender,

We need your help to save a newly discovered nursery for blue whales along the Patagonia coast of southern Chile.

This irreplaceable refuge for the world's largest creatures is imperiled by massive hydroelectric dams, industrial pollution and ship traffic.

Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/patagonia/takeaction.asp
and ask Chile's new president, Michelle Bachelet, to designate a national protected area in the Corcovado Gulf that will help ensure a future for its remarkable population of blue whales and the diverse ecosystem they depend on.

These waters, located off Chiloe Island among Patagonia's breathtaking fjords, also nourish one of the world's smallest dolphins, dozens of other marine mammals and a wide array of native ocean life.

If we don't act now, though, industrialization along Chile's coastline and rivers could pollute this area and attract massive tankers that would disturb the whales' peaceful sanctuary.

A broad coalition of Chilean scientists, community leaders and
environmental groups has developed a proposal to make the Corcovado Gulf one of Chile's first marine protected areas.

Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/patagonia/takeaction.asp
right away and show your support for this important proposal.

Thank you for taking action to save the blue whales of Patagonia.

Sincerely,

Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council
