はじめまして。ヒラミキと申します。
突然のお願い＆マルチポストで申し訳ありません。
私の知り合いで世界中を歩いて旅をしているポール・コールマンという方がいるのですが、彼から、韓国のセマングン干潟開発運動に参加して欲しいというメッセージが届きました。
長文ですがもし読んで賛同してただき、署名（メールを送るだけです）に参加していただけるとうれしいです。
また興味のある方がいらっしゃったらどうかこの運動について伝えて下さい。
どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

みなさん、こんにちは。ポール・コールマンです。
おかげさまで、私達は中国を歩き終え、現在、韓国のソウルに 滞在しています。
さて、早速ですが、今日、韓国で私たちをサポートしてくれて いるKFEM（Korean Federation For Environmental Movements ）という環境団体から、「韓国最大の干潟が開発されようとし
ているので、なんとか干潟を守るために助けてもらえないだろうか」と頼まれました。
この開発には、あまりにも多くの人々が反対したため、現在は 最高裁で争われており、3月13日に最終決断が下されるそうです。
この干潟はセマングン干潟といい、50万羽もの渡り鳥や世界的に絶滅の危機にさらされている鳥たちの国際的な通り道になっており、また、エコシステムの中でも大変重要な役割を果たしています。
私達は、韓国で大きな運動となっているこの活動を少しでも助けることができたらと思っています。
また、鳥たちにとって大切な生息地が壊されないように、皆さんにも助けていただけたら、と思います。

Dear Honorable Lee Yong-Hun,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Korea
I am writing most respectfully to urge the cancellation of the Saemangeum project. If the seawall is completed, and the Saemangeum estuarine system converted to freshwater and “land”, South Korea will lose the single most important known site for migratory shorebirds both nationally and in the Yellow Sea. Loss of this estuarine system will cause significant damage both to the national interest, and to South Korea’s international image. It will undermine national conservation laws and government initiatives, cause declines in certain species of migratory waterbirds, and cause enormous damage to fisheries along the West Coast and throughout a significant part of the Yellow Sea. While we understand that the Korean government has already spent a lot of money on this project, the long-term environmental and economic costs that will result from completing the project are beyond measure.
Though the stated goal of creating land for rice farming is already disputed given free trade and farming trends in South Korea and other developed countries, the environmental destruction that the project will cause is, in the opinion of numerous national and international experts (based on significant research and historical precedents), both definite and widespread. The loss of 40 100 ha of brackish sea and tidal-flats will cause enormous damage to water quality and fisheries, which in turn will be felt most acutely by local fishers and by the hundreds of thousands of birds that are supported by the natural estuarine system. The Saemangeum reclamation will destroy essential and optimal habitat for globally threatened migratory species such as the Endangered Spotted Greenshank (with a world population of less than 1000 individuals), Spoon-billed Sandpiper (probably less than 2 000 individuals globally), Black-faced Spoonbill (with a world population of around 1681 individuals) and Saunders’s Gull. Thus, the Saemangeum Project will not only harm the environment and biodiversity of South Korea, but that of a much wider region, negatively impacting on a chain of countries from New Zealand and Australia in the south to Russia and the US to the north and east. These countries, recognizing the many values of wetlands, are not only working to protect their wetlands, they are restoring them. These efforts, however, will not help numerous species of migratory waterbirds if the Saemangeum project is completed. Indeed, while the Saemangeum tidal flats are part of South Korea’s national territory, migratory waterbirds belong to many nations, and most importantly, to future generations.
South Korea has taken many steps in recent years to try to reverse environmental destruction caused by very rapid industrialization. By becoming a signatory to the Convention of Biological Diversity and the Ramsar Convention, and especially by hosting the next Ramsar Conference (in 2008), the South Korean government has shown a strong desire to be recognized internationally for its efforts to conserve wetlands and biodiversity, as an essential part of sustainable development and national natural resource management. The South Korean government should thus meet its national and international obligations to maintain populations of waterbirds and internationally important wetlands, as called for by the Articles of the Ramsar Convention. Canceling the project will allow greater acceptance of wetland conservation under national laws, and will enable the 2008 Ramsar Conference to be a celebration of Korea’s environmental heritage and the South Korean government’s enlightened environmental leadership.
