Say NO to coal mining in grizzly habitat

The Cline Mining Corporation wants to gouge a heavily polluting coal mine out of the Flathead River Valley, a thriving RockyMountain habitat for grizzly bears that straddles the border ofMontana and British Columbia.

We need your immediate action to block this dangerous open-pit mining scheme, which would poison the headwaters of the FlatheadRiver and jeopardize the survival of downstream populations of imperiled grizzly bears, wolves, cut throat trout and otherwildlife.

Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/bears/takeaction and urge the British Columbia government to protect the spectacular wildlands and wildlife of the Flathead basin by rejecting the Cline Mining Corporation's reckless plan.

Cline's mining proposal calls for removing mountain tops and building waste dumps and settling ponds right on top of the headwaters of the Flathead River in British Columbia.

Hazardous pollution from the mine would travel down river into Montana, putting the endangered grizzlies and other wildlife of Glacier National Park at even greater risk.

Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/bears/takeaction and join Governor Brian Schweitzer and Senator Max Bauchus of Montana in speaking out against this scheme.

Thank you for helping to protect grizzly bears and other imperiled Rocky Mountain wildlife.

Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
President
