SAVE THE DANUBE DELTA!

Ukraine will continue building a navigational canal in the Danube River Delta. A senior Ukrainian Foreign Ministry official has confirmed the construction of the canal, despite a European Union call to halt work amid fears the waterway could harm the environment.
Environmentalists and other members of the Ukraininan, Romanian, and international community have initiated a protest. The online petition can be signed at:  http://www.petitiononline.com/RomDelta/petition.html .

The Danube Delta is a unique, UNESCO protected ecosystem. The construction of such a canal could lead to rare birds species and flora being extinguished.

Romania has protested to international organizations over the Bastroe canal project, saying it could damage the unique ecosystem in the delta, home to more than 280 bird species.

Romanians Worldwide Group (RWW Group) supports the Romanian ZIUA daily project to stop the building of this canal by Ukraine.

RWW Group supports "ZIUA" daily’s initiative to protect the Danube Delta.
