Bulgarian Ski Complex Threatens Rila National Park
Business: Saturday, 2008-01-05 14:55
Article by: Focus Agency
The Seven Lakes of the snow-capped Rila mountains of south-western Bulgaria lie nestled in a valley just below Musala, the highest peak in the country. The ancient name of the mountains refers to an abundance of water; in addition to glacial lakes and hot springs, four major rivers find their source in these snow-capped mountains, CorpWatch research group informed.
Recently, however, the quiet beauty of the region has been broken by the whine of chain saws carving away at the forest below the lakes. A network of dirt roads now provides access for earth-moving vehicles. Just above the first lake, aptly named "The Tear," excavation equipment clears the way for a new chair lift to bring in ski tourists. Beside the lift, one of the national park`s backcountry chalets is being transformed into the "Edelweiss Resort," a benchmark construction for the ski area developers.
The Rila Mountain ski project reflects a national frenzy to cash in on an anticipated tourist boom in Bulgaria.
Here among the highest mountains of the region, the construction of a new ski complex promises jobs and economic growth in one of the poorer countries to join the European Union (EU).
On closer inspection, however, the brave new world of free enterprise in Rila National Park looks more like a corporate scam that is taking advantage of compliant police and politicians, while causing massive environmental destruction.
For example, a few weeks ago, environmental activists from Za Zemiata (For the Earth) took journalists (including this reporter) to the site of the proposed $147 million project. Suddenly, a group of men appeared and threatened to kill the activists. Shortly afterwards, police turned up. They said nothing to the thugs but warned the activists: "Next time we might show up too late." They then helped the thugs force the journalists and the activists back into their vehicles.
