Hello!
This is a request to take part in the mail-art action for saving
nesting area of black-headed gull (larus ridibundus) and 14 other
species of water-fowl on Krievu Island, Riga, Latvia. Your
collaboration will not be merely as an art fact, but as a help to
the Riga inhabitants in order to save the micro-restricted area in
the outskirts of city, nearby Bolderāja.
The nesting place where ornithologists last spring observed 1500
couples of black-headed gull is intended to be destroyed for
business purposes. The island is planned to be graveled and used
for creating a charcoal terminal. Only 20 nesting couples of birds
are necessary to form a restricted area, but this is not a
profitable project. City Authorities are going to make money at the
expense of birds and people-friendly environment of the people. Let
us not allow this to happen!
Technique and size: free
Deadline: 20.05.2007
Address:
Bolderaja group
a/k 42 Riga,
LV - 1016
Latvia
Thanks for your help with this!
