Apache Resistance At Oak Flat Against Arizona Copper Mine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Stand with us in joining the San Carlos Apache tribe to protect Oak Flat campground, a sacred Apache site in the Tonto National Forest in central Arizona.
International mining giant Rio Tinto's plans to develop a massive copper mine there would leave a depression in the ground the size of the Winslow meteor crater, drain the aquifer and destroy important streams, springs and wildlife habitat.
Oak Flat is also home to numerous species of wildlife, including an ocelot that was killed on a nearby road several years ago. The area was formally withdrawn from mining by presidential order 50 years ago, but Congress recently approved a land swap that allows the company to obtain private control of the land and evade environmental laws in the process.

About us:
The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature - to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.
We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

The announcements for these demonstrations need to be made more public!! Get the word out and share. I will stand with you. Mitakuye Oyasin
People told our local news outlets & they didn't come. This fight has been going on for 10 years & very few people know about it. Outside the state news outlets had to pick up this story. Arizona does not want Arizonans to see what will be in their back yard. What happens here will affect Queen Creek, Mesa, Phoenix and beyond. Yet, the news media doesn't want to say anything. Visit Oak Flat this weekend. Prayer ceremonies still being held... 2/28 & 3/1
sad 2'662 views I guess when prince died today he received views in the millions even thought he was a great performer but to us this means a lot in our world.
oak flat ain't sacret
Now we're in Oak Flat, Apache Land-with our hands-up
When it go down-we all-man-up
They say, "Stay down", and-we-stand-up
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned-up
Spirit of Geronimo pointed to the mountaintop-we ran-up.
