Right now the Portuguese Government has just given the go-ahead for the majority of the area, 359 hectares, (887 acres), to be \u201cdeveloped\u201d. By developed they mean \u201cto be concreted over\u201d and thus lost to the wildlife that finds it vital now and also lost for the enjoyment of future generations. Any development near this important area will have a hugely detrimental impact on the wildlife that uses it.<\/p>\n
It will never come back; it\u2019ll be gone for ever. <\/p>\n As Chief Seattle said, \u201cOnly when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money\u201d.<\/p>\n Please share this petition on your Facebook and Twitter accounts <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Join this petition: Right now the Portuguese Government has just given the go-ahead for the majority of the area, 359 hectares, (887 acres), to be \u201cdeveloped\u201d.

\nWhen will Man realize that he is not the only animal on the planet?<\/em>
\nThe Algarve does not need more hotels, golf courses or holiday accommodation \u2013 all of which stand now at 55% occupancy. What it DOES need is an appreciation of its unique habitats and the wildlife that depends upon them.
\nPlease help us get the signatures that we need for this matter to be raised in Parliament.
\nWe need you \u2013 you\u2019re our only hope!<\/a><\/p>\n
