This pamphlet provides background information regarding the issue of the University of Toronto astronomy department potentially becoming a partner in the Columbus Project. It outlines the impacts the project would have on Mt. Graham's endangered red squirrel population, the human rights violations the telescope poses to the Apache, and the ethical implications of placing scientific interests before both these concerns.
