Planting trees in Zhulat instead of HPPs
Today in the village of Zhulat in Gjirokastra, EcoAlbania planted 25 linden trees as part of the “Forest of Hope” initiative in the Vjosa Valley: an initiative undertaken for the reforestation of the Vjosa Valley. At the request of the community of the area and as a form of support the communities that are opposing the HPP projects in the Vjosa valley, this initiative comes exactly in the village of Zhulat.
Residents of Zhulat have risen up against the Taronina hydropower plant which affects the two tributaries of the Kardhiq River – protected area – Strict Nature Reserve and are concerned about the situation, unanimously against the construction of the HPP.
