Revised Permits Don't Go Far Enough: Protect the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge! The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, a crown jewel of the National
Wildlife Refuge System, faces a critical juncture. A proposed strip mine,
located a mere stone's throw from its borders, threatens to disrupt this
irreplaceable ecosystem. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division
recently released revised permits for the Twin Pines Minerals project after
considering public comments from last year.  These revised permits,
however, do not adequately address the significant environmental risks the
mine poses to Okefenokee NWR.
