Urgent Appeal Print

Urgent support needed for Mangyan Indigenous Peoples and Mindoro communities of the Philippines in their hunger strike against Norwegian Intex Resources Nickel Mining Project.

Recently, the Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) issued to Norwegian-based Intex Resources dated October 14, 2009 was temporarily revoked on November 27th under DENR Special Order No. 2009-921 pending completion of a thorough and impartial investigation that will validate all allegations attendant to INTEX ECC. An Investigation Team will be created to be composed of independent experts chosen by the Provincial Governments of Oriental and Occidental Mindoro and the DENR, which will also include representatives from the civil society organizations and indigenous peoples' federation based in Mindoro. The Hunger Strike was therefore called off on the 27th of November pending the conduct of this investigation. The hunger strikers wish to thank to all those who offered their support and welcome additional signatures to this petition offering support for their initial and on-going call for the permanent revocation of the ECC.

Please Sign the petition NOW!
