The Greek Ornithological Society has expressed strong opposition to the initiative by the Peloponnese Region to fund the lighting of the Kokkino Vracho in Leonidio. The Society characterizes this project as a «large-scale intervention» and a «bad idea,» highlighting that it reflects an arrogant and dismissive attitude towards nature.
In their statement, they emphasize that the iconic rock is a vibrant ecosystem with its own functions and needs. Such an intervention would lead to severe and permanent changes in the natural conditions of the area, resulting in ecological disruption, displacement of species, and population decline.
For those interested in further details, additional information can be found through the Society’s official channels.
