Save the blue jewel of Siberia
Dr. Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank:
We, concerned citizens from around the world, call on you to protect the world’s deepest lake from Mongolia's hydro plant construction plants. It’s a short-sighted plan that will destroy the lake and its wildlife without giving Mongolia the energy it needs. We urge you to, instead, fund environmentally-friendly wind farms in Mongolia’s desert -- and stop this environmental disaster before it’s too late.

Russian locals and Mongolians have joined environmental activists in trying to stop the project, but the powerful Mongolian hydro lobby has got the government to push it forward at the World Bank. The President of the Bank is reform-minded Dr. Jim Yong Kim, who wants to ensure energy sustainability in developing countries. We can show him that there’s a better way: wind farms in Mongolia’s desert -- and stop this environmental disaster before it’s too late.
Mongolia expected this plan to stay out of the public eye -- we can change that. Click to call on Dr. Kim to reject the dam -- when our call reaches the depths of Lake Baikal, we’ll deliver the petition straight to the World Bank and make a massive splash in the media:
