ACTION ALERT: Tell the Museum of Nature to Rethink Partnership with Barrick Gold!
Amidst reports of human rights violations and massive  public opposition  to the environmentally destructive operations of  Barrick Gold around the world,  it is shocking that the Canadian Museum  of Nature would undertake a partnership  with the notorious  multinational mining company. 
The Canadian Museum of Nature is a largely publicly  funded institution  that states the following about its objectives: The  purpose of the Canadian  Museum of Nature is to give Canadians an  opportunity of discovering and  understanding the natural world and how  to live in balance with it. 
This partnership is an attempt by Barrick Gold to improve  its public  image and influence public opinion. It severely undermines  the ability of the  Museum of Nature to serve the public interest and  educate about the natural world. 
Barrick Gold has used its political influence to lobby  against  regulatory oversight of the environmentally and socially  harmful practices of  mining companies here in Canada and around the  world. 
Please use the template on the link or send your own  message to the President of the Museum of  Nature demanding that the  Museum reconsider the partnership with Barrick Gold.
