To: Mr. Jochen Tilk,, President & CEO of Inmet Mining corp. and President Donald Trump
Stop Mining in The Pristine Biological Corridor of Central America
Dear President Obama;
The democratic platform speaks of protecting the global environment. I signed this petition because I believe it is imperative that you make a public stand and apply international political pressure in the United Nations as well as in various trade agreements, to stop the exploitation of the world's few remaining pristine biological reserves located throughout Mesoamerica, by private mining companies that look to profit from their proposed open pit copper and gold mines that will leave a pristine rain-forest environment permanently scarred and poisoned, and the native people sick and displaced. The various Indigenous Indians of these regions are fighting to protect their lands and their way of life but we see as we have in the past that corruption and money can kill justice and silence the truth. Please do not be silent now when these irreplaceable pockets of biological life need our immediate and permanent protection.
More specifically, I demand that Mr, Jochen Tilk, President & CEO, Inmet Mining Corporation STOP any and all efforts to mine in the Biological Corridor of Panama (or any other Central American country). It is wrong to take from the world such valuable biological treasures so you and your shareholders can privately profit.
Thank you for your immediate action on this most urgent matter.
Sincerely,

Why is this important?
IT IS TIME THAT OUR GOVERNMENT MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO PROTECT THE SHRINKING, IRREPLACEABLE NATURAL RESOURCES THAT THE WORLD HAS LEFT. The Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli has violated their own constitution by giving a concession to Inmet Mining Corporation, a Canadian mining company is trying to exploit large deposits of gold and copper located in Cobre, Panama. This large open-pit copper development project concession is located 120 kilometres west of Panama City and 20 kilometres from the Caribbean Sea coast, in the district of Donoso, Colon province, in the Republic of Panama. The concession consists of four zones totalling 13,600 hectares in the middle of the the Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca, the Reserva Forestal Fortuna and the Bosque Protector Palo Seco, some of the most pristine protected rainforests containing large amounts of the world's biological species. The indigenous peoples of these areas are ready to die to protect their lands, people and way of life from these greedy companies that only care about profiting from these resources. It is time a much greater voice is heard to stop this exploitation from taking from the world that which money can never replace, the beauty and awe of the natural world for our future children. President Martinelli, stop this mistake before it is too late.
