<CENTER><I>This petition was launched on our YouMove platform by CEE Bankwatch
Network. We think it may interest you. </I></CENTER>
<P><BIG><STRONG>Imagine overnight a giant highway is set up through your
home.</STRONG> The ground shakes you awake as strangers invade your garden with
machinery that leaves scars even time cannot heal. The landscape is gone
forever. This is the reality for the local residents of the Neretva Valley in
Bosnia and Herzegovina right now. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>The Neretva Valley is <STRONG>a habitat for rare endangered fish and
bird species.</STRONG> It is also an important <STRONG>source of food for large
number of people</STRONG>. [1] And still European banks are using our public
money to finance a giant highway that will rip through the area and destroy it.
</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Local people are already rising up. [2] But they need our help to turn
this into an European story. Together we are able to amplify their voices and
bring pressure from across Europe. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Now we have a chance to do just that - tomorrow an important bank
backing the highway has a key meeting. Our partner Bankwatch will be there.
<STRONG>If we can arm them with the voices of thousands of us speaking up for
nature, we can stop the highway. </STRONG></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>So, will you add your voice to those of us already standing up for the
lives of birds and fish now?</BIG></P>

<P><BIG><STRONG>Our community has come behind petitions like this, set up by
local organisations, many times and won!</STRONG> Hundreds of thousands of us
signed a petition that has stopped a mega-port in Tenerife. It threatened the
only whale heritage site in the European Union. Thanks to our work together the
home to more than 75 protected species including whales, dolphins, sharks and
turtles is now safe. [3]<SUP> </SUP></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Concerns about environmental impacts of highway in Neretva Valley are
growing. The threats to cultural heritage are being raised by more and more
local people and cultural figures. <STRONG>They are doing all they can to demand
the project is halted. But they cannot do it alone.</STRONG> The time has come
to go bigger and bring outside pressure on the banks funding this destruction.
We can show them Europe is watching and their reputation is on the line
everywhere. </BIG></P>
<P><STRONG><BIG>Will you answer their calls and take action together to protect
the nature of the Neretva Valley?</BIG></STRONG></P>
