Dear Cristel -- South Australia's home-grown oil and gas company, Santos, is pressing on with plans to drill 850 coal seam gas wells in the Pilliga, the largest remnant forest in Eastern Australia and a critical recharge zone for the Great Artesian Basin.    Will you let Santos' new CEO, Kevin Gallagher, know you don't support a coal seam gasfield in the precious Pilliga forest? Here is Adelaide's chance to stand up!   Despite years of opposition from local farmers, traditional owners and environmentalists Santos still refuses to drop these risky plans. Despite a shocking environmental record during exploration, including the contamination of an aquifer with uranium, Santos still refuses to drop this disastrous project.  Now, even despite a revaluation of the project to literally $0.00 Santos still presses on with this unwanted, unsafe, unnecessary and unprofitable project.  After many community victories against unconventional gas right across NSW, Santos' project in the Pilliga is the last remaining CSG proposal in the state. A Gasfield Free NSW is within tantalisingly close. Water knows no state boundaries, so this would be great news for us all!   To help protect the Pilliga forest and the Great Artesian Basin from CSG we need you to:    1. Email Santos' new CEO and ask him to drop the Narrabri Gas Project now.    2. Show up at a rally to support farmers and Traditional Owners outside 2016 Santos AGM at the Adelaide Convention Centre on May 4 to show Santos some home-grown opposition to its risky plans. RSVP or find out more here.    As opposition to the Narrabri Gas Project grows, this year every Santos office in Australia will be targeted by protests on the day of the AGM. Let's make sure the new CEO, the board and shareholders know they cannot escape the controversy in their proud home state.    In support of our sister Wilderness Society Centre in Newcastle, NSW,  TJ and Cristel The Wilderness Society SA http://wilderness.nationbuilder.com/ -=-=- The Wilderness Society · PO Box 716, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia This email was sent to cristel...@gmail.com.
