Its official,
 
• The Avon and Hills Mining Awareness Group (AHMAG) in
              Morangup, led by Brian Dale

• Residents for Responsible Mining (R4RM) in
              Bindoon, led by Clair Medhurst

• The Community Alliance For Positive Solutions (CAPS) in
              Yarloop, led by Vince Puccio

All three groups have agreed to an alliance along the Darling Scarp, from Yarloop to Wannamal (Near Bindoon).

The aim of the alliance is to protect the Darling Scarp from the destruction that open cut invasive mining and refining has on the environment and the effects that 24/7 mining operations have on residential, peri-urban, semi-rural and rural communities.

Going forward the biggest resource on the planet will be food production, therefore our collective groups believe that productive farmland should be protected at all costs.

Climate change is very real and previous well known inland farming areas are becoming more and more marginal due to a lack of rainfall.

Properties along the Darling Scarp are still well known for reliable rainfall and therefore all farmland along the Darling Range should be listed as priority farmland and protected at all costs and not destroyed by mining.

With this in mind, AHMAG, R4RM and CAPS have pledged support to one another to rid the Darling Scarp of any new bauxite mines and refineries. This will not happen overnight, but with your help it will happen!.

If you haven't done it already, visit our individual FB pages, like the page and ask your family and friends to do the same.

The AHMAG slogan has long been “Together We Will Be Heard” but with this new alliance, We will become impossible to ignore.
