Save the Dugong Campaign.
The Japanese dugong is a gentle sea mammal. It is threatened with extinction by plans to build a huge new U.S. military airbase offshore, destroying the seagrass bed that is the dugong's primary feeding ground, and the coral reef that is its habitat. Only 30-50 animals remain in the wild, living off the shores of Japan's Okinawa island. Send a message to U.S. and Japanese military, environmental, and policy officials, to save the dugong!
