Fellow Steemians, we're once again on the battlefield trying to defend our nature from the hands of those, who are driven by greed and corruption! The planet that we live on is a truly magnificent place and it's getting unmercifully destroyed by the desire of the few.

Thousands of Bulgarians and foreign friends gathered on the streets of Sofia, Brussels, London & more than 20 other cities in Bulgaria and abroad, to protest further construction of pistes and ski lifts in Pirin National Park. Environmentalists came together to demonstrate against the government’s decision to allow the expansion of the ski area at the Unesco World Heritage Site.This move would breach nature protection laws, destroy hundred-year-old pine trees and subsequently endanger local wildlife.
The government tries to allow the building of facilities to "collect drinking water" in 48 percent of the park’s territory, which opens half the park up to construction and of course legitimate logging.
