Category: Environment
Region: South Africa
Target: Dome residents and environmentalists everywhere
Background (Preamble):
In 2005 Unesco approved the citation of the Vredefort Dome as a World Heritage Site (WHS), and the SA government undertook to formally recognise and regulate the area. The Dome is at the centre of the oldest and largest visible meteorite impact site on earth. We need to petition government to go forward with the WHS as planned.
As many people as possible should sign this petition to prove that there is overwhelming public support for conservation, the protection of heritage, and sensible economic development for the benefit of all.
