The spectacular wetlands of the Ebro Delta are threatened
The Ebro Delta, one of the most important wetlands in Europe, will vanish if a plan goes ahead to divert the waters of the river to the south-eastern region of Spain, more than 1,000 km away.
On 16 December, the European Commissioner for the Environment, Ms. Margot Wallström, pressurized by the Spanish Government, will rule on the legality of the Ebro water transfer project.
It is expected that the decision will be in favour of the project, despite its negative impacts and its illegality according to EU directives. If the scheme is approved, the European Commissioner for Regional Policy, M. Michel Barnier, will make available the funds that Spain needs to realize this project.
Your help is needed IMMEDIATELY to save the Ebro Delta and to stop the devastating Ebro Water Transfer.
