By convey the voice of the community and hundreds of other actors of civil society involved in the initiative for the protection of river Bënça:
We Albanian NGOs following, strongly oppose hydro-power projects in the valley of Bënça because we believe that this valley constitutes potentially the “heart” of a potential national park that includes the entire river. In their place, we want to protect our natural heritage.
