The Vjosa-Narta area in Albania is a crucial stopover site for migrating birds between Europe and Africa and is one of the most important we

Hi everyone,

Not my usual content but I thought I’d try and bring some awareness to an important environmental issue.

The Vjosa-Narta Lagoon is home to thousands of migratory birds like the Dalmatian Pelican and Flamingo, while they journey between Europe and Africa. This region of wetlands Albania is one of the very few undisturbed areas left in the entire Mediterranean. It’s now being threatened by foreign investors (such as Jared Kushner…..) looking to build luxury resorts, villas and even an airport on what was supposed to be protected land. These developments seem to have been rammed through with little to no public input or environmental impact assessments.

The people of Albania are protesting as well as they can, but they could use your help spreading awareness. The more eyes and public pressure we get on the situation the better.

Thank you 😊

Environmental NGOs have long raised concerns that the project could threaten the area's biodiversity and disrupt bird migration routes. #Eur

All the support to the people of Albania fighting against their government allowing Kushner to purchase protected land.

That feeling when Israel is buying up land and property in both of my countries 🥲.

Greece and Cyprus have been stated to be a target for Israeli "investors" and settlers, as a part of the EU it is a safe retreat from counterstrikes onto Israel from the countries it bombs. About 60% of all land and property purchases from foreigners in Greece are done by Israelis.

And on top of that recently massive amounts of public land/beaches in Vlore was sold to Israel by Albanian president Edi Rama. Barbwire fences have been put up around the beaches and land and have been closed down to the public, including one of the very few islands that Albania has.

Said island also has one of the last deltas in Europe, which is considered a reserve due to its importance for the local environment/ecosystem. And development on it has already begun, without announcement. Many trees on the fenced out land have been cut. Locals aren't allowed to go past the fence, many of whom also own property behind it and are being cut off of their land.

There has been protests, the fences were taken down once but they were reinstalled and are now being patrolled by Albania's own police.

Edit: it turns out I was wrong about a few things, first, the Israeli investors in Greece account for 40-50% of foreign land purchases, with the highest estimate I could find saying 57%

And the island of Sazan is not infact being sold, but it is unfortunately still being developed
