The Japanese dugong needs your help! |
The Japanese dugong, a gentle sea mammal similar to the manatee, is a
symbol of peace to the people of that country. In a bitter ironic
twist, it is threatened by plans to construct a floating U.S. military base off the shores of Japan's southern island of Okinawa. It is estimated that fewer than 50 Japanese dugongs remain in the
wild.
Please help save the dugong! See the action alert "Save the Endangered Dugong" on the Environment Updates page of Progressive
