I know, it's got nothing to do with insects and it's got nothing to do with Italy. But I hope it is ok to write this down and ask everybody for help.
In the south of France in the mountains of Seranne in the dept. Languedoc-Roussillon is planned to built kind of a zoo for birds of prey in the direct neighborhood of a pairs of free living and breeding eagles. The zoo is planned with many pleasure grounds like restaurants, demonstrations of free flying birds of prey etc. Especially the demonstrations of flying eagles, vultures and others will disturb and make complications and maybe at least displace them.
There is even some other rare birds like eagle owl, serpent eagle and others. The area is nature preserve and natura 2000 area. But the government ignores this and sis willing to built this zoo.
Please check the link and sign against this insanity. It needs a lot of people to be against this. Please even contact friend by eMail or what ever, to sign for this.
I normally don't do this, but I know the area. I have been there several times and in my mind it is very important to stop this. thanks a lot.
