[Please sign this petition] From the page: "SAVE SPANISH BEARS
Local government and a construction company are threatening the continued, precarious survival of the Cantabrian brown bear or Oso pardo Cantábrico (Ursus arctos arctos), already catalogued as in danger of extinction in Spain. An unsustainable project to build a ski resort in an important corridor of access for the last remaining bears in the region of San Glorio in the Cordillera Cantábrica mountains of N.Spain may be given approval. Relatively low altitude and regular windy conditions would ensure the need for water-draining, artificial snow machine use. The local population will not get rich on the occasional weekend of piste skiing a year whilst destroying habitat of bear, capercaillie, marsh fritillary and apollo butterflies, among others of the area's natural wildlife and beauty - it's main attraction."
