The mighty Danube is under attack again

Thanks to your recent efforts, Austria's planned river works are moving in a better direction. But now a Ukrainian project threatens the Danube Delta, one of Europe's most ecologically important areas.
The Ukrainian government has started construction on a multi-million US-dollar shipping canal, which will cut right through the Danube Delta.

The Bystroye canal threatens critical habitats and jeopardizes the region's fishing and tourism industries.

Urge the Ukrainian President, Mr. Leonid Kuchma, to halt the canal construction, and to consider alternatives.
