Milan R.
started this petition to
UNESCO, GOVERNMENT of Montenegro
The Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism withdrew the Plan for temporary buildings inside the National park Durmitor, and acorrding to this document, we acheived to save Black Lake and National Park Durmitor integrity.

We are willing to stop the mayor ecological catastrophe about to happen in Durmitor National Park (Montenegro), formal member of UNESCO since 1980. Last days we were the witnesses of uncontrolled deforestation, on the coast of Black Lake, which is natural jewel of Park, and whole Country. Due to declaration of heads of administration of national park, those trees represented danger for human beings and other trees, as trees with disease; but we can clearly see that healthy trees are cut down. Things wouldn't be that bad, if the problems stop here. The principal reason of deforestation is liberation and preparation of terrain to build large sized touristic complex, formed by 30 small building structures (kind of bungalows), the project supported by central government (Ministry of Tourism and Sustainable Development) and Public Firm National Parks Of Montenegro, which issued the order for deforestation. Realization of such a project, during the preparation phase, constructional phase, and usage phase would lead to unexpected consequences, principally, disbalance of complete ecosystem of National Park, which also could affect ecological system of region, with negative impact on global level. Also, visual impact would be immeasurable, converting the picturesque image of virgin natural space into unpleasant sight for eyes of numerous global visitors. So, dear reader, the power is in your hand, sign this petition, and share as far as you can!
Thank you!
