Dear Mr Carter,

I am concerned about Solid Energy's proposed opencast coal mine in Happy Valley on the West Coast.

Happy Valley is a

Pristine area of native bush, fragile wetlands and a thriving ecosystem, low in predators.
Natural refuge for great spotted kiwi.
Habitat to kiwi and the endemic land snail Powelliphanta patrickensis, both absolutely protected under the Wildlife Act 1953.
Habitat to many other endangered native plant and animal species.

It is unacceptable that a State Owned Enterprise is considering destroying this area. As Minister of Conservation, you are responsible for protecting endangered species wherever they are.

Furthermore: (add your own comments here!):

I urge you to stop Solid Energy from proceeding with a mine in Happy Valley. I look forward to your prompt response on this matter.
