The new network aims to protect the “Alpine open spaces”.
The “PAN – Protect Alpine Nature” network – a new association of 15 organizations from three Alpine countries – calls for the protection of undeveloped Alpine open spaces, which in Austria represent only 7% of the total area. In collaboration with other partner organizations such as the WWF or the Austrian Alpine Association (ÖAV), we want to specifically draw attention to this aspect at least once a year with “actions on site”.
It is essential that these areas, both on glaciers and in the Alps in general, are protected quickly and comprehensively to overcome the current and future “climate and biodiversity crisis”, the WWF Alpine protection spokeswoman said in a press conference , Ann-Kristin Winkler. Friday in Innsbruck. On behalf of the nature protection organisation, he once again targeted the planned expansion of the Kaunertal power plant by the state energy company Tiwag, which would also involve flooding the Platzertal. It is an “incomparable marsh landscape with enormous biodiversity” that “must be preserved,” says Winkler.

The buildings planned as part of the expansion are “a “sensitive facility in the Alps”, which in this form is obsolete and in general a bad decision. For this reason, vague protests are planned for 13 June in the Kaunertal, Matt said promised to media representatives.
Plans for the mega pumped storage power plant were first presented in 2009. For the project, the energy company plans to divert up to 80 percent of the water from the Venter and Gurgler Ache rivers in the 34-meter Ötztal valley. kilometers away, one of the valleys with the lo
