Greetings from Australia
Protect Ningaloo takes fight to save Exmouth Gulf to saltwork’s German HQ.
German-based multinational, K+S, is planning a huge, 210 km2 saltworks, threatening nationally listed wetlands and wildlife.
To get the attention of K+S executives, we put ‘postcard’ billboards all over Kassel, Germany, urging them reconsider the project because of the damage it would cause to this area of outstanding conservation value.
Exmouth Gulf is a vital part of the nearby Ningaloo Reef ecosystem, with UNESCO recommending Exmouth Gulf be considered for inclusion in the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Coast.
Thanks to ocean-lovers like you, more than 15,000 people have emailed the WA environment minister to oppose K+S’s proposal. Another 14,000 people have emailed the federal environment minister calling for Exmouth Gulf to be granted National Heritage protection.
