Korea’s birdlife needs your urgent help again

By Charlie • March 18, 2008 • No comments yet

Having already destroyed much of the natural habitat in the country, South Korea now plans to carve up and wreck huge areas of riverine habitat. To quote Nial Moores, Birds Korea Director, the new project “entails canalizing up to 3,100 km of rivers on the Korean peninsula by converting naturally shallow rivers into shipping canals 6 m deep and up to 300 m wide”. This disastrous plan needs stopping NOW and Birds Korea has launched a petition on their website at Grand Canal Petition. I helped co-found Birds Korea and I’m personally asking the readers of this blog to PLEASE sign it. Thanks. (Charlie)
