Dear All,
From the people who brought you the environmental disaster of the
Saemangeum wetlands draining, a new threat to the Avifauna (not to
mention the Environment in general), The Grand Canal. This proposal
is to canalise all 4 of S. Korea's major river systems, which will
entail dredging and maintaining to a depth of 6m the 3,100Km length
of these rivers. It is rather like turning the Murray-Darling system
in to a network of ship canals.
Birds Korea is trying to bring this disaster in the making to the
attention of the world in the hope that International opinion will
block the project. Would you all please have a look at the Birds
Korea web site about this project and please, please sign the 2 e-
petitions. The Birds Korea site can be found at:
