Everyaction,

Join the Center for Biological Diversity and our partners in the Okefenokee Protection Alliance on Wednesday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. ET for a free virtual screening of Sacred Waters: The Okefenokee in Peril and panel discussion.

Sacred Waters takes viewers into the heart of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, revealing its wild beauty, cultural importance and unparalleled ecological value. Then the film refocuses on the threat looming large over the landscape — a proposed mine near the edge of the refuge that could permanently damage the swamp and all the rare and imperiled species that live there. As the film brings us deeper into the Okefenokee, we come to understand just how much is at stake. 

Register today to watch the premiere of Sacred Waters and listen to a panel discussion by Okefenokee advocates the state of the swamp and the mining proposal.

Sacred Waters is presented by the Okefenokee Protection Alliance with the generous support of the National Parks Conservation Association.
