Giant music festival is threatening wildlife reserve

becausebirds:

Dear Tumblr,

After our previous victory of preventing the huge music festival from being held this year next to Sepulveda Basin wildlife reserve, I promised I would let you know if the promoters of “Angelfest” made another attempt to hold the festival next year. And they are. The petition is still ongoing, but there is an extremely important community hearing tonight at 6PM and we need to help be voice of these animals.

If you can, take a moment to send a short email to: angelfest.2016@usace.army.mil to voice an objection to this irresponsible event.

Your email can simply say that Army Corps should think of the damage and impact a loud 3-day music festival can have on the nature reserve’s local and migratory wildlife.. The promoters should be encouraged to hold their event at any of the more appropriate event venues around Los Angeles, of which there are many.

This is a tipping point tonight to prevent damage from being done to this delicate nature reserve. Anyone can send an email and the more people that send one, the more likely we can protect the wildlife. For more information about the hearing, and politicians to contact, visit SFV Audubon. The deadline for emails is May 25th, but the more we have before tonight the better. 🐦
