To His Highness Prince of Abu Dhabi and the government of Colombia:

As citizens from across the globe, we join the national march to defend Páramo Santurbán in Colombia and demand the gold mining project on behalf of Mubadala-Minesa is cancelled. This project threatens a pristine ecosystem that provides drinking water to thousands and its environmental license has been rejected. It is not too late to stop this disaster. We are counting on you to protect water over gold.

SAVE WATER NOT GOLD 
People across Colombia are joining forces to defeat a mining company that wants to extract gold in the most important water source of the country… and they need our support to win!

Behind the whole project is the Prince of Abu Dhabi, who chairs the company, and is hoping to fill his country’s banks with Colombian gold out of a precious ecosystem called Páramo Santurbán. The company has already been called out for their dirty tactics to discredit the citizens opposing this project for over 9 years, and in a few days, Colombia's government will have to decide between protecting water or gold.

Let's join the call to protect life over mining by generating a wave of solidarity from across the globe. If we reach 1 million signatures, we will cause a deafening splash in Abu Dhabi calling on His Highness to drop the project:
