Daewoo Cars Threaten Lemur Extinction

When the rich want to get richer, they care not who or what they mess up. In this case it is Daewoo Group that sells cars, builds ships, pollutes Korean politics, bribes princes, and buys up farm land in one of the poorest nations on earth - Madagascar - AND cares not if Lemurs are made extinct.

Makes you want to swear on Sunday. Send a letter at least to its president and maybe to USA customer service: customerservice@daewooUS.com

Rare and threatened: Lemur of Madagascar (Image: wikipedia)
South Korean Daewoo Group intends to lease for 99 years up to 1.3 million hectares (3.2 million acres) of Madagascar‘s land, much of it biodiversity rich rainforests and species rich local gardens.

Support our protest with a letter to Ahn Yong Nam, president and CEO of Daewoo Logistics Corp. Urge Daewoo to bring clarity and transparency to the public about the announced contract with the Madagascan government, and their contents and conditions. Make it clear that the biodiversity on the island needs the remaining natural areas to survive, the people of the country their land for food, other urgently needed commodities, and to ecologically sustainably produce income based upon standing forests.
