coordinated international campaign this week will try to
save South Korea's beautiful Jeju Island from
destruction. We have the chance to participate, and in
so doing to help form a badly needed partnership between the
environmental and antiwar movements.<BR><BR>The World
Conservation Congress 2012 is being held on Jeju Island in
two weeks -- while just four miles away, in the island's
Gangjeong Village, construction is beginning on a massive
new naval base to be used by the U.S. Dredging of the
seabed and coral has already begun.<BR><BR><A

put a stop to it now.</B></A><BR><BR>The extraordinary
biological diversity, unique volcanic topography, and the
culture of Jeju Island attract many tourists. The Sea of
Gangjeong is a national cultural treasure adjacent to a
UNESCO biosphere reserve. Only 114 Indo-Pacific bottlenose
dolphins remain, and they live here -- one of many species
threatened by base construction. The damage will be
devastating. <BR><BR><B>But Samsung, the primary contractor
for base construction, is sponsoring the World Conservation
Congress (WCC), which is pretending all is
well.</B><BR><BR><A

them know we aren't fooled. Demand that Samsung halt
construction and the WCC oppose the
base.</B></A><BR><BR><U>94% of the residents of Jeju Island
have voted against construction of the base.</U><BR><BR>If
the base is constructed, it will host nuclear-powered
submarines and aircraft carriers, as well as Aegis
missile-carrying warships. <U>U.S. taxpayers will pay the
cost of the Obama administration "pivot" into the
Asia-Pacific, while Jeju Islanders pay with a damaged
home</U>. Ultimately, the cost to the earth and the risk of
war will belong to all of us.<BR><BR>Villagers have been
arrested during nonviolent protests. Police and construction
workers have assaulted elderly members of the community, who
represent a large portion of the activists. <U>Raising
our voices in solidarity is the least we can
do.</U><BR><BR><A
