<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Flamingos and Dalmatian Pelicans, <STRONG>some of Europe’s most majestic
water birds</STRONG> find refuge on their yearly journey between Africa and
Europe in a beautiful wetland in Montenegro. Now, <STRONG>this area might be
covered with concrete and turned into a luxury tourist resort.</STRONG>
[1]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Birds do not know borders. What happens in Montenegro will affect the
ecosystems of distant regions in Europe and Africa where Flamingos and Pelicans
dwell over the year. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>But <STRONG>the country’s authorities have the power to stop this
project</STRONG>. Montenegro is an EU-candidate country and tens of thousands of
people are on the streets protesting the corrupt practices of the current
government. [3] The situation is right for the Prime Minister to be swayed by
massive pressure from people from all around Europe who care about the nature of
our common continent. Together, we can be that massive pressure.</BIG></P>

<P><BIG>The Ulcinj Salina is a vast former salt works where for nearly a century
salt was produced in a nature-friendly way. [2] It has offered birds a rich
habitat and safe place to nest and raise their offspring. Recently, the salt
harvest stopped and <STRONG>the new owner is attempting to build a luxury resort
on this valuable hotspot</STRONG> of biodiversity.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Soon, Montenegrin Prime Minister Duško Marković will attend a major
international conference, where the activists trying to save the site, will
address him. They will urge him not to let the developers build hotels - and
even a marina! - on the wetland, but instead to ensure that Salina stays a
thriving habitat for thousands of birds.</BIG></P>

<P><BIG>Ulcinj Salina is a 1,500 hectare salt works in southern Montenegro,
close to the Adriatic coast. It is <STRONG>the most important resting, wintering
and breeding site for many species of waterbirds</STRONG> along the Adriatic
Flyway. [4] More than 250 different species rely on the salina each year,
including Great Flamingos, Black-winged Stilts and Dalmatian Pelicans which come
to feed in its shallow waters. [5]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Our community has shown many times – for example in the campaign to save
the gorge of the Kresna river in Bulgaria - that we can mobilise to protect
unique natural sites in all corners of Europe. Let’s do it again – <STRONG><A

<P><BIG>PS Salt production in Ulcinj Salina was privatized in a non-transparent
process in 2005. Since then, the Salina has been deliberately run-down by its
operator who claims that they purchased not only the concession to harvest salt,
but the land itself. Now, they try to sell it for millions of Euros. Yet, it
remains unclear who actually owns Ulcinj Salina. [6] The authorities must put
safeguards in place so that Ulcinj Salina remains the property of the people and
is managed in the best interest of the nature. <STRONG><A
