WWF ALERT: stop oil disasters in the Baltic Sea
In this Passport alert:
New campaign: Stop oil disasters in the Baltic Sea
New campaign: Oppose law authorizing seagull hunting in Italy
Campaign success: Hungary opposes Novo Virje dam!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stop oil disasters in the Baltic Sea
The Baltic is one of the smallest seas in the world with some of the busiest maritime traffic. Oil spills are a real and present threat to this fragile marine environment.
With oil transportation dramatically increasing in the Baltic's treacherous shipping routes, the risk of a devastating oil spill is imminent.
You can help safeguard the Baltic by urging countries attending next month's International Maritime Organization meeting to give this special sea, and the wildlife it supports, the protection it desperately deserves.

Oppose law authorizing seagull hunting in Italy
While some species of seagull are now endangered in parts of Europe, Italy is proposing a drastic law to reduce seagull numbers.
The proposed law will authorize the hunting of seagulls and cormorants, and take away the protection status for some endangered species!

Hungary opposes Novo Virje dam!
Hungary has announced its opposition to Croatia's plan to build a hydropower dam on the Drava River!
The Hungarian Environment and Water Ministry stated that, if necessary, transboundary conventions and international law will be used to prevent the project from going ahead.
The planned Novo Virje dam would be the largest hydropower plant on the Drava, whose lower stretches are some of the last remaining free-flowing river sections in Europe.
Many thanks for your support! Close to 6,000 e-mails were sent by Passport holders to Hungary's Minister of Environment and Water asking him to oppose this disastrous construction.
While Hungary's statement of opposition still needs a governmental decree to make it binding, this is the first success for conservationists since this old communist plan was revived three years ago.
