Save Buffelspoort Dam and the surrounding environment

Comments

It is time that we actually start protecting the environment, something we, as a country, have promised and signed many policies about. Climate change is a real thing that we need to start taking seriously and habitat destruction is one of the greatest causes. Mining and coal usage for energy is something of the past and it is time that is as a country actually accept and legalize the use of non fossil fuel energy resources. We are a country that has the natural ability to utilize what Mother Nature have to us. Greed is our biggest downfall. We need to start thinking about the people and our future.

This is the place I had the most amazing child hood and it's where you meet so many new people that I call family.
I call this place my safe haven, my home away from home.
Let's stand together and save it for the future generation.

I have been around the waters of the Buffelspoort dam for sometime now and have personally seen the impact that mining has on local ecosystems and the nature that surrounds it. Would hate to see it happen to the place which people use to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

As a South African citizen I feel I need to take the chance to preserve nature and ensure that habitats aren’t destroyed as this could wipe out an entire specie.
This a way I will voice my opinion.

I am a concerned global citizen who is looking out for my friend who visits this beautiful spot every year with her family. This place is so important she reached out me. Her and her family have made countless memories there and by opening this mine you will take that away from them permanently. I am also writing because I am a concerned 20 year old who would like to live in a world where humans put planet over profit. Think about sustaining our beautiful earth for generations and generations to come. If you do this your communities and economy will thank you.

This place is a home to many, not only people but living creatures both water and land who also have a right to live. In south africa area are either becoming so densely populated with people or torn down for big office parks or apartment blocks to be built without ene a slip second of thought to think what we are destroying. SAVE THE DAM!
