Dear Chief Minister,

Proposals for large-scale irrigation schemes and clearing of forests and woodlands in the Daly River Basin are unsustainable and should never go ahead. I urge you to:

• Stop any further large-scale treeclearing in the Daly River catchment.

• Stop issuing new licences to pump water from the Daly River and the ground water supplies that feed the river.

• Support ecologically sustainable rural enterprises that do not result in large-scale treeclearing and over-pumping of water for irrigation.

The future of the Daly River is in your hands.

Yours sincerely,

Address

2. WRITE TO THE NORTHERN TERRITORY GOVERNMENT

By taking time to write a personal letter to the Chief Minister, Clare Martin, you can show just how strongly you feel about the Daly River.

Send your letter to:

The Honourable Clare Martin, Chief Minister of the Northern Territory,
GPO Box 3146,
Darwin NT 0801

3. TELL YOUR FRIENDS

Get your friends and workmates to send emails or write letters.

Together we can show the Government that the majority of Australians don't want large-scale irrigated agriculture and large-scale treeclearing in the Daly River catchment.
