Dear friends!
On early (December) 27  great news came from Kiev, Ukraine!

On National Safety Council meeting its Secretary Eugene Marchuk stated
Presidents` Kuchma position on the Danube Biosphere reserve problem. He said
that Ukraine was balancing on the international scandal edge because of
attempts to construct a canal through the reserve. Letters to support the
reserve came from 64(!) countries, and also protest action in front of
Ukrainian Embassy in Moscow was held.

President Kuchma did not want any more scandals, so he would not sign any
decree affecting the reserve! Misnistry of transport should dig its canal
somwhere outside the reserve territory.

We understand that buerocrats from Ministry of transport who are also the
stockholders of Delta-Lotsman ( the construction company) will try to
reverse the situation, but it seems that Kuchma is rather firm on his stand.
So we may hope that one of the most wonderful European wildlife territories
is safe - at least until next presidential elections.

ON BEHALF OF THE RESREVE, SEU AND NATURE PROTECTION COMMUNITY WE WANT TO SAY
GREATEST THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SENT LETTERS AND FAXES!!!!! YOUR VOICE DID
HELP!!!!!

WE LOVE YOU ALL! Happy Winter Holidays!

Yours sincerely,
Olga Berlova, Socio-Ecological Union,

Sergey Shaparenko, Environmental Group "Pechenigy"
