This vital route could soon be blocked by a coal-fired power plant that <em>DMCI Power Corporation<\/em> intends to build on the coast of Palawan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Environmentalists are speaking out against the plan: \u201cPolicymakers are trying to give Palawan a green image and promote the island as the last ecological frontier of the Philippines. Yet approving a coal power plant in such a highly sensitive area and putting the survival of an entire species at risk is a crass contradiction of those efforts,\u201d explains Peter Widmann, vice president of the Katala Foundation. The decision by the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development ignores the submitted environmental studies and the will of the municipal government, and of the residents of Barangay Panacan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">About 260 Philippine cockatoos live on Rasa Island, making it the largest population in the wild. Only 30 years ago, the birds inhabited virtually the entire Philippines. Today, the IUCN Red List categorizes them as critically endangered. Only an estimated 1,000 birds still live in the wild in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The imposing birds have numerous enemies: logging, agriculture and mining are destroying their habitats, and the illegal animal trade poses a grave threat to their survival. Poachers plunder almost every unguarded nest in the wild and sell the young birds as decorative pets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<strong>Please add your signature to the letter by Philippine environmentalists protesting the power plant:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rainforest-rescue.org\/mailalert\/911?ref=nl&amp;mt=1546\">https:\/\/www.rainforest-rescue.org\/mailalert\/911?ref=nl&amp;mt=1546<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">Thanks for being involved,<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><strong>Reinhard Behrend<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nRainforest Rescue (Rettet den Regenwald e.V.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@rainforest-rescue.org\" target=\"_blank\">info@rainforest-rescue.org<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rainforest-rescue.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.rainforest-rescue.org<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rainforest2rescue\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rainforest2rescue<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The Philippine cockatoo is an inhabitant of the Philippine archipelago.
