As we have previously stated on other posts, at the moment we are now devoting some of our time and efforts into supporting our Serbian campaigner friends who are trying to stop mass environmental destruction within their country,

Information and pictures relating to Serbian environmental issues can be seen on some of our previous posts:

Now we move back to Stara Planina, where the government is attempting to turn beautiful mountain regions into a ski playground.

Below is a Google Earth image of the current destruction.

Please watch the excellent video below to obtain more information:

Take special note of the ‘conflict of interests’ detailed at 4 minutes 20 seconds into the video.

Below is the latest selection of stunning photographs of the biodiversity of the region which have been supplied to us. Biodiversity which has taken millions of years to evolve, now being destroyed within months at the stroke of a pen by political wish.

The next stage of direct campaigning, which we hope all our global friends and supporters will be able to take part in, is currently in the ‘development’ stage. As soon as the campaign is ready, we will provide full details on this site as to how you can help.

Meanwhile, enjoy the beautiful pictures of an existing ecosystem which is now rapidly being destroyed on a daily basis. For what ? – money; the root of all evil !

We know you will agree with us – this IS one campaign that needs immediate attention – for the animals of the region and the flora of the region. When it (they) have been destroyed, they will never return. And that threat calls for action by whatever way we can undertake it.
