SAVING LIFE ON EARTH

“Vigneto: Yes or No?” Screening and Live Q&A with Filmmaker Dina Kagan & Film Team

Panel Discussion: Thursday, Jan. 28 @ 4 p.m. PT

RSVP: https://act.biologicaldiversity.org/a/rivers-plight-join-us-film-and-discussion

The San Pedro River, flowing north from Mexico into Arizona, is the largest undammed river in the Southwest. It provides vital habitat for dozens of endangered species and millions of migratory birds.

But the San Pedro River is at a crossroads: A proposed 28,000-home development - the sprawling Villages at Vigneto - would bleed it dry, harming countless wildlife.

The Center has teamed up with filmmaker Dina Kagan to create a powerful 13-minute film showcasing the beauty and vulnerability of the San Pedro. Watch the film anytime after
Jan. 21 and then join us for a Saving Life on Earth webinar with Dina and the team on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET.

During the webinar you'll learn more about the San Pedro, our fight to save this riparian jewel and how you can help.

EARTH JUSTICE: Watershed Alliance Asks Court To Halt Massive San Pedro Development

“The proposed Vigneto development would drain the lifeblood from the San Pedro River, robbing it of its water and destroying riparian ecosystems that sustain life in our dry state.
The failure to analyze these impacts is unconscionable, irresponsible, and unlawful. The Corps must do its job and evaluate impacts, alternatives, and seek to mitigate the impacts or deny the permit and protect this desert jewel, the San Pedro River."
--Sandy Bahr, Arizona chapter director for Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon Chapter
