Visoka voda, sodni proces, kolesarska steza, podvodno pripovedovanje zgodb, sanjarjenje o odstranitvi jezu in proslavljanje rešitve Vjose. Ob koncu leta je čas za inventuro. Naša gre takole: V letu 2023 smo v ospredju naših prizadevanj ohranili slovensko Savo, saj ji kar naprej pretijo novi projekti, ki bi to izjemno reko dokončno uničili. Leto se je začelo izjemno obetavno, saj je Društvo za preučevanje rib Slovenije na Upravno sodišče pravočasno vložilo prevod študije, za katero smo v lanskem decembru ekspresno zbrali sredstva za prevod. Na svetovni dan voda, 22. marca, je sledila glavna ustna obravnava v zadevi HE Mokrice, dva meseca kasneje pa je postalo uradno, da je sodišče ugodilo tožbi […]
High water, court case, destructive bike paths, underwater story telling, dreaming of dam removal and celebrating the Vjosa. At the end of the year, it’s time to take stock. Ours goes like this: In 2023, we kept the Sava River in Slovenia at the forefront of our efforts, as it is constantly threatened by new projects that would destroy this exceptional river once and for all. The year began with an urgent and yet promising start, when we collected funds for the translation of a report which proved that HPP Mokrice – and the other planned hydroelectric power plants on the Sava – are neither sensible nor necessary in terms […]

Nevladne organizacije, združene v skupini Za Savo smo kritične do postopka umeščanja prvih treh HE na srednji Savi. Okoljsko poročilo ne obravnava cele verige 9 – 12 predvidenih HE, negativni vplivi na naravo in okolje so podcenjeni, precenjeni pa pozitivni vplivi na proizvodnjo elektrike. HSE namerava na območju srednje Save med Ljubljano in Suhadolom zgraditi verigo 9 – 12 hidroelektrarn. Trenutno je v teku postopek sprejemanja Državnega prostorskega načrta (DPN) za prve tri: HE Renke, HE Trbovlje in HE Suhadol. Vlada se je v koalicijski pogodbi zavezala, da bo preverila smotrnost gradnje novih HE na srednji Savi ter trajnostno izkoriščala naravne vire in ohranjala naravne habitate ter živalske in rastlinske […]
It’s been a year since Golob’s government, with an amendment to the Government Act, clearly indicated what their modus operandi will be as far as nature and rivers are concerned. If they failed with everything else, they are at least one of the best, (if not the best Slovenian government to date) in the systematic destruction of watercourses. An elite group of hydro energy specialists, construction company leaders and various concessionaires found themselves on the side of the decision-makers, so this comes with no surprise. Here we list only a selection of their outstanding moves of the last year, which suspiciously are infrequently discussed in the media: – With the […]
Minilo je leto dni, odkar je Golobova vlada z novelo zakona o vladi jasno nakazala na to, kakšne bodo njihove rabote kar se tiče narave in rek. Če jim je vse ostalo spodletelo, pa so pri sistematičnem uničevanju vodotokov ena boljših, če ne najboljša dozdajšnja slovenska vlada. Kako tudi ne, na strani odločevalcev se je znašel elitni nabor energetikov, še posebej hidroenergetikov, gradbenikov in raznih koncesionarjev. Tule navajamo le cvetober njihovih izjemnih potez zadnjega leta, o katerih se sumljivo malo govori v medijih: – Z novelo zakona o vladi (glede novele je 27.11.22 potekal neuspeli zavrnitveni referendum) vlada energetikom omogoči pisanje soglasij s pogoji za posege v naravo. S tem […]
Z menjavo vlade so šle zdrava pamet, strokovnost in slovenska narava, še posebej reke, iz dežja pod kap. Ko je prejšnja vlada zgolj nakazala na rabote, ki jih trenutna aktivno izvaja, so bili vsi v zraku. Mediji so bili polni apokaliptičnih naslovnic, ulice polne od taistih novic jeznih ljudi. Tokrat so mediji tiho, mainstream naravovarstveniki pojejo mantre o zelenem biznisu, pardon, prehodu, ljudje pa ne vedo točno kaj bi si mislili oz. mislijo kar jim predlagajo pri večernih poročilih. Pa naj, vsaj kar se tiče narave, predvsem rek, zadeve rahlo obelodanimo mi. Golobovi svobodnjaki so Ministrstvo za okolje in prostor začenši razbili v Ministrstvo za okolje, podnebje in energijo ter […]
