I saw this appeal on Neoorn and thought it would be of interest to NBC

Please take a minute to help save an important wild area in Brazil!

The assembly of Mato Grosso, Brazil, recently passed legislation that
withdraws protected status from almost half of the Cristalino Ecological
Reserve.   This will undoubtedly lead to the destruction of 80,000 acres of
one of the most biologically diverse and undisturbed areas in the southern
Amazon region.

Brazilian environmentalists are asking for assistance to convince the
governor of Mato Grosso to veto the legislation.  You can send email
indicating your support for the Cristalino Reserve by using the link below.
