Save Wild and Sacred Australia - The Kimberley

Protect the Kimberley from the Fossil Fuel Frenzy - Statement  of Global Concern

THANK YOU TO THE MORE THAN 1,500 PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD WHO SIGNED THIS PETITION! We submitted it to the Australian government in March 2011 during the public comment period on the Kimberley Gas Hub. We will let you know the latest developments! Just sign up for our email or look for us on Facebook!

The  Australian government is behind the proposal to build a massive natural gas processing plant on the unspoiled coast of the Kimberley in Western Australia. The "Browse LNG Joint Venture" involving Woodside Petroleum, Chevron, Shell, BP and BHP Billiton, if approved, would have severe and irreversible impacts on a range of unique and threatened species and pristine natural ecosystems and severely impact the social fabric and economic future of the region.

The proposed gas hub would destroy sea turtle nesting and foraging habitat, pollute humpback whale calving grounds, and remove wetlands and waters important to migrating shorebirds.

If this industrial development occurs on the Kimberley coast, it would "green light" other polluting industries to target the region’s coal and coal seam gas, bauxite and uranium deposits.  Read more about the Kimberley and the LNG plant. Read about the delivery of the global statement to Broome activists in Western Australia.

To the State Government of Western Australia, the Federal Government of Australia and oil and gas corporations seeking to exploit the fossil fuel resources of the Kimberley:

The individuals and conservation organizations listed below are writing to convey our strong support for the recognition of the Kimberley region of northwestern Australia, an area as large as California (and three times the size of England), as one of the planet’s last great intact marine and terrestrial environments.

We strongly oppose plans for the large scale destructive and polluting industrialization of the region and the development of a massive polluting gas refinery and industrial port at James Price Point on the Kimberley coast, 50 kilometers north of Broome- the first of potentially many similar projects.
