Protect Sazan Island from the Trump family!

To Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama:“Do not let Sazan Island and the Vjosa–Narta landscape become the playground of billionaires. One of the last pristine sites in the Mediterranean should be protected, and ordinary Albanians should benefit from its natural beauty, not the ultra-rich!”

A few days ago, when locals went out for a walk along the pristine beach on Albania’s southern coast, they found large, barbed-wire-topped fences blocking their path. Heavy machinery was already tearing into the sand.

When citizens stood up to the private guards, they were violently dragged away. That’s when the protests erupted.

Nature is for everyone to enjoy, not a luxury commodity to be sold off to the highest bidder. And right now, Albanians are fighting for that right alone against one of the richest families in the world, the Trumps.

Let’s join their calls and help them deliver a massive victory for nature. When we hit 500,000 signatures, we’ll make sure Prime Minister Edi Rama sees it and demands a total halt to the project.

Mediterranean wildlife at risk

The 10,000-room luxury resort is going to be built within the Vjosa–Narta Protected Landscape, a critical habitat for more than 70 endangered species and over 200 bird species, including flamingos and Dalmatian pelicans. Its waters are among the last refuges for the endangered Mediterranean monk seal and an important nesting ground for loggerhead sea turtles.
