The construction project is also an endangerment to the habitat of the rare Dalmatian Pelicans.

The development plan in the works for the national park Lake Skadar also poses a threat. Amongst other things it envisages the construction of hotels, marinas, roads, and a highway until the year 2025.
EuroNatur is working together with its local partners to obtain effective protection of the ecologically sensitive area. In a petition, the citizens’ initiative “Save Skadar Lake” requests the Montenegrin Prime Minister Duško Marković to put an immediate end to the planned construction projects in the national park. Take a stand against the destruction of nature in the national park and sign the petition!
