Conservation groups are trying to put international pressure on the State and Federal governments to stop the proposed gas hub at James Price Point from going ahead.
25 international conservation groups have presented the Broome community with a statement pledging their opposition to the proposed hub.
The groups are calling on the State and Federal governments to protect the Kimberley from industrialisation by petroleum and mining companies.
Teri Shore, from the Turtle Island restoration network in California, says she wants to raise the international alarm to stop development going ahead.
“My job is to raise the profile with these international groups,” she said.
“This global statement of concern about the Kimberley is just the first step in mobilising international groups to support the protection of the Kimberley.”
Teri Shore says their main goal is to stop the gas hub at that site.
“There are alternatives that are easily available to these companies, we have also talked to some of the companies and they aren’t all that keen on this site, I think a number of them would be happy to move it somewhere else,” she said.
