Take Action and Don't Let Armenia Turn Teghut Forest into a Copper Pit

Teghut's forest is located in Armenia and is an ancient, pristine forest in a largely deforested nation.  Over 1,500 acres of this forest is about to be destroyed to accommodate a massive, open-pit copper mine.  Not to mention, the intense pollution from the mine could cause horrific health impacts on local communities.

Send a message to the U.S. ambassador to Armenia, asking him to stand up for Armenian protestors, and the forest.  Your message will be cc'd to the Armenian government so that it knows people in the U.S. are paying attention to Teghut forest and the activists in Armenia trying to save it.
