There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Jeju Island, even though it’s a newly named “Wonder of Nature,” a UNESCO Global Geosite, and an incredible spiritual, culturally and ecologically unique land.

It’s also “cursed” with the geostrategic disadvantage of being just about the perfect place for the U.S. military to build an anti-ballistics missile defense base, to keep us safe from China.

Locals are protesting the construction, but they’re running out of time.

Read Robert Redford’s plea to save Jeju Island, and then visit SaveJejuIsland.org to help.
