ANDREJI SLAMERŠEK NAGRADA WOLFGANGA STAABA 2021

Slovenska borka za reke Andreja Slameršek je danes v Münchnu prejela nagrado Wolfganga Staaba za varstvo narave 2021 za svoje izjemno prizadevanje za naravo evropske vrednosti. Utemeljitev podeljevalcev je bila jasna: »Da lahko dve veliki slovenski reki, Mura in Sava, še dalje neovirano tečeta po svojih strugah, je predvsem zasluga naravovarstvenice Andreje Slameršek. S podporo nevladnih organizacij ji je uspelo ustaviti več načrtovanih hidroenergetskih projektov, ki bi uničili edinstvene, ekološko dragocene poplavne pokrajine obeh rek.« Povedano bolj po domače; če ne bi bilo Andreje, njene odločnosti, poguma in nepopustljivosti, bi bila večina naših, sicer pogosto precej bolj opaženih akcij, popolnoma zaman.

ANDREJA SLAMERŠEK RECEIVES THE WOLFGANG STAAB NATURE CONSERVATION AWARD 2021

The fact that Slovenia’s two major rivers, the Mura and the Sava, can still flow mostly unhindered through their riverbeds is largely thanks to the conservationist Andreja Slameršek. We are sometimes the loud and obvious ones, but if it wasn’t for Andreja, her fearlessness and determination at court cases, our actions would be more or less useless! She succeeded at many court cases, stopping several planned hydropower projects that would have destroyed the unique, ecologically valuable floodplain landscapes of the two rivers. Andreja was awarded the Wolfgang Staab Nature Conservation Prize 2021 for her outstanding commitment to nature conservation and we salute and congratulate her! Respect!
