Conservation and Environmental Grants 2003

This year is the 100th anniversary of Ford. Henry Ford (1863-1947)

The Ford Motor Company Conservation & Environmental Grants program is one of the world's largest environmental and conservation grants efforts. The Grants program comes from the Henry Ford Conservation Awards, originated in Britain in 1983 with a vision to encourage a wide range of people to initiate or join programs that help their local environment, heritage, and natural resources. It provides support to organizations and individuals that focus on preservation of the natural environment and support conservation in a noteworthy manner.

V Sloveniji se letos ze sedmic pricenja natecaj ¨ Nagrade druzbe Ford za ohranjanje naravne in kulturne dedinšcine za leto 2003 ¨ , letos pa praznujejo 20.obletnico podeljevanja nagrad.
Fordove nagrade za ohranitev kulturne dedinšcine in zašcito okolja so zazivele ze leta 1981 na pobudo ustanovitelja Fordovega fonda David Bellamy-a. Z njegovo pomocjo je uresnicena vizija ohranjanja kulturne dedinšcine in okolja. Subvencijski program druzbe Ford Motor Company se je v 20.letih svojega delovanja razširil po vsem svetu.
Vec kot 22.000 projektov je pripomoglo k zašciti okolja in ohranitvi naravne in kulturne dedinšcine. Vsi ti projekti pa so velika inspiracija in spodbuda za vse nas."Sto letni jubilej nudi Fordu enkratno priloznost za praznovanje preteklosti in je vzpodbuda za postavitev temeljev prihodnosti", je poudaril Bill Ford, predsednik druzbe. "Nagrade druzbe Ford za ohranjanje naravne in kulturne dedišcine so ena najpomembnejših in ucinkovitih naèinov, da to storimo. Verjamem, da je vsak udelezenec v tem tekmovanju zmagovalec in zmagovalci postanejo vsi na svetu, ki pridobijo po njihovi zaslugi."
Kar se je zacelo pred 20 leti v Fordu v Angliji je dandanes preraslo v enega najvecjih in edinstvenih programov v svetu. Nagrade druzbe Ford vkljucujejo vec kot 120,000 ljudi in organizacij v vec kot 60 drzavah širom sveta - v Evropi, Centralni in Juzni Ameriki, na Karibih, v Aziji in na Blizjem Vzhodu. V tem casu je bilo prijavljenih vec kot 22,000 projektov, ki so pripomogli k zašciti okolja in ohranitvi naravne in kulturne dedišcine.
"Kot je model T spremenil nacin zivljenja v preteklosti, tako so Fordove nagrade v preteklih 20. letih pripomogle tisocim posameznikom in skupinam," je rekel profesor David Bellamy, predsednik in soustanovitelj British Conservation Foundation.

Fordova zavezanost k varstvu okolja je neomajna! Ford motor Company se posveca pridobivanju novih iznajdljivih in bistroumnih okoljevarstvenih rešitev, ki oznacujejo druzbo Ford Motor Company kot vodilno v avtomobilski industriji 21. stoletja, ki se zavzema za ohranjanje in zašcito naravnega okolja in kulturne dedinšcine. Izvajane akcije predstavljajo našo skrb za ohranjanje okolja za bodoce generacije.
S Fordovimi nagradi zelijo dodatno spodbuditi, podpreti in nagraditi najodlicnejše pobude tistih posameznikov in skupin, ki vlagajo svoje moci, cas v ohranitev kulturne dedinšcine in naravnega okolja.
Izpostaviti zelijo posameznike in skupine, ki zanatno prispevajo k ohranjanju okolja in narave; zelijo jim dati vzpodbudo ter njihovo prizadevanje postaviti za vzgled širši skupnosti, v kateri zivijo. Na koncu koncev zelijo, da bodo Fordove nagrade imele veckraten ucinek, zlasti med mlajšo generacijo, ter dan bodo vzpodbudile podobna razmišljanja in pobude na drugih sorodnih podrocjih.

Fordove nagrade so namenjene pomoci nepridobitnim projektom, ki jih prijavljajo posamezniki ali skupine v naslednjih kategorijah :
- Naravno okolje: projekti za ohranitev rastlinstva in zivalstva oziroma njihovega zivljenjskega okolja
- Kulturna dedinšcina : projekti za ohranitev zgodovinskih stavb, objektov in predmetov ter ohranjanje ljudskega izrocila in obrti
- Varstveno inzenirstvo : projekti, ki zmanjšujeo porabo naravnih bogastev in / ali zmanjšujejo stopnjo onesnazenja
- Mladinski projekti : kakršnikoli projekti za ohranjanje naravne in kulturne dedinšcine oziroma projekti varstvenega inzeniringa v katerem je glavnina sodelujocih mlajša od 18 let

Zanimanje za te nagrade v Sloveniji je veliko, saj so v preteklih letih skupno prejeli preko 290 predstavljenih projektov.

Zmagovalni projekti v Sloveniji do sedaj so naslednji :

1997 - Ozivitev samostana v Zicah
1998 - Beloglavi jastreb - vceraj, danes, jutri
1999 - Bio vas Cadrg

Prijava Projekta na razpis Nagrada druzbe Ford za ohranjanje naravne in kulturne dedinšcine za leto 2003:

Ohranitev planote Golic pred postavitvijo vetrnih elektrarn ( Slovenija )

Registration Project on invitation for Ford Conservation and Environmental Grants 2003 :

Protection Plateu Golic before setting up of wind power plants ( Slovenia )

Ta projekt in spletna stran : www.oocities.org/zelenanarava je nastal zaradi premajhne osvešcenosti Slovencev , da je planota Golic edinstvena na svetu in da je naravna vrednota drzavnega in svetovnega pomena.
Kar se je stoletja ohranjalo se lahko z neumnim posegom na ravni nezavedanja s postavitvijo vetrnih elektrarn takoj iznici.
Spletna stran Zelena narava je Projekt ohranitve naravnega okolja in kulturne dedinšcine Slovenije - planote Golic nad kraškim robom pred postavitvijo vetrnih elektrarn ( VE ) .

Gre za zašcito :
- neokrnjene narave, zivali in rastlin
- pomembnega zivljenjskega prostora 55 % vseh zivecih metuljev v Slovenji, ogrozenih ptic , orla kacarja, planinskega orla, lunjev, orla sršenarja, sov, postovk, beloglavega jastreba iz Kvarnerja ,
- endemicne vrste zuzelke - Foto ,
- suhih kamnitih kraških travnikov, ki so redkost v Evropi,
- redkih rastlinskih vrst - Ucenska bodeca neza in Cicarijski dimek , Raznolistna macina - Serratula lycopifolia
- neraziskanih ostankov starodavnega gradišca,
- vodovarstvenega obmocja reke Rizane, ki skoraj v celoti pokriva Slovensko Istro z pitno vodo
- vidnih in kulturnih kakovosti prostora ter vpliva na kulturno dedinšcino glede vedute in zgodovinske vrednosti svetovno znanih Hrastovelj in Kraškega roba
- hidrogeološkega rezervata reke Rizane

Ko si vse to preberemo, spoznamo ,da gre za trenutno najvecji projekt ohranitve naravnega okolja in kulturne dedinšcine, ki poteka v Sloveniji in mogoce v Evropi.

Na zacetku si niti sam nisem zamišljal,
da gre za tako velik projekt, toliko zbiranja informacij, obvešcanja odgovornih ljudi, prevajanja, priprav slik, pisanja clankov za casopise, priprava FOTO razstave , iskanja vseh faktorjev proti VE ( vodovarstveno obmocje, olje v VE in veduta Hrastovelj ),
da je planota Golic tako pomembna tako za Slovenijo kot za Evropo in da enostavno VE ne spadajo na tako pomembno obmocje kot za zivali in rastline tako za cloveka.

Vse podatke sem postavljal na spletno stran in njene podstrani.

Kako se je vse skupaj zacelo :

Ze spomladi 2002 ob prvih novicah, da mislijo postaviti Vetrne elektrarne na Golicu,
sem se odlocil, da bom poskušal ohraniti planoto Golic pred postavitvijo vetrnih elektrarn. Zdelo se mi je nemogoce, da jih mislijo postaviti v neokrnjeno naravo.

Sem za vetrne elektrarne, vendar naj jih postavijo v ze degradirano okolje.
Nam Primorcem je Golic kot Slovencem Triglav. Vsakemu , ki je videl planoto Golic in travišca naokoli, ki segajo od Zbevnice preko Kavcicev, Lipnika do Golica, in ki ima v sebi nekaj spoštovanja do neokrnjene narave , se je zbudila naravovarstvena zavest.
Slovenska Istra je ze skoraj v celoti gosto poseljena in tu slabih 30 km od Kopra in le lucaj od svetovno znanih Hrastovelj , imamo neokrnjeno naravo in pravo divjino , ki je v Evropi ni vec. Sledilo je veliko pisanja in pošiljanja clankov v casopise, pisanje vsem strankam, evropskemu komisarju Zoltanu Walliczkeju , ministru za okolje in prostor in predsedniku Slovenije . V Kopru sem govoril z ministrom za okolje in prostor g . Janezem Kopacem, naj ne dovoli takega posega v neokrnjeno naravo. Bil sem tudi na ekološkem pohodu, ki so ga organizirali Zeleni Kopra, vendar je zaradi grozenj domacinov in prevelike spolitiziranosti odpadel. Takrat 16. junija 2002 smo bili na vrhu Golica samo trije ljude in dva konja.
Investitorji vetrnih elektrarn so na Golicu postavili vse merilce vetra na crno .
Da bi ohranil planoto Golic in njeno neokrnjeno divjino tudi za naše potomce in bodoce generacije, sem se odlocil, da postavim spletno stran: Zelena narava na internet in preko nje obvešcam in osvešcujem naravovarstveno skrb do okolja. Na strani imam tudi dva poštna naslova e-maila , kjer sem zbiral in osvešcal naravovarstvenike, odgovorne organizacije in ljudi širom po Sloveniji in po svetu. Na spletno stran sem postavljal vse novosti v povezavi z Golicem in njegovo ohranitvijo.
Prav preko e-maila me je planinka obvestila o postavitvi 43. metrskega stolpa na Golicu.
Ta stolp je bil od prejšnjih dveh tudi postavljen na crno in tako smo obvešcali odgovorne o vsemu. Odziv je bil slab.
Preko e-maila sem se povezal z znanimi Slovenskimi biologi g. Andrejem Gogalo, g. Mitjem Kaligaricem in krajinsko arhitetko Ano Kucan. Izmenjevali smo si podatke in mnenja.

Sam sem preko interneta dobil ogromno podatkov, da so vetrnice hrupne in da se na podezelju slišijo do 3. km dalec in da je na svetu preko 600 skupin, ki so proti temu, da VE postavljajo v neokrnjeno okolje.
V Kopru v študijski knjiznjici je bila cel mesec november 2002 moja samostojna foto razstava : Spoznajmo naše lepote s slikami iz Golica. Vse stroške razvijanja slik sem financiral sam
( preko dvajset slik A4 formata ). Zahvaljujem se direktorju študijske knjiznjice, da mi je omogocil prostor v avli knjiznjice za razstavo.
Skrb zbujajoce je bilo nedelovanje odgovornih ljudi in organizacij. Pisal sem veliko clankov v casopise Delo in Primorske novice a vseh mi niso objavili.
Skušal sem ljudem povedati, da lahko tako neokrnjeno divjino in naravo lahko unicimo samo enkrat in to za zmeraj. Prav tako sem veliko novic v povezavi z Golicem objavljal na spletni strani Obala.net ( informacijski portal dogajanja na obali ), kjer se je ze zacela širiti skrb do neokrnjenega okolja.
Jeseni 2002 : Pojavil se je tudi projekt natura2000 - life, ki ga vodi Znanstveno raziskovalno središce iz Kopra. Tudi njim sem poslal veliko informacij o nameravani postavitvi VE na Golicu. Sam sem poslal veliko clankov v casopise, vendar jih niso vseh objavili.

Decembra 2002 sem ugotovil da bodo VE vidne iz Hrastovelj in bodo pokvarile veduto Hrastovelj. Le kaj si bodo mislili o nas tujci, ko si bodo ogledovali svetovno znane freske in bodo v ozadju Hrastovelj na Kraškem robu vidne vetrne elektrarne.
Obvestili smo tudi Rimokatoliško cerkev v Sloveniji naj ne dovoli tega projekta, kajti narejena bo vecna škoda.

Februar 2003 : Prav tako sem izvedel od izdelovalcev vetrnih turbin, da ima vsaka vetrna turbina najmanj 370 Litrov sinteticnega olja za podmazovanje in hlajenje.
Ker smo v Slovenski Istri vsi odvisni od reke Rizane za pitno vodo, je bila ta novica alarmantna.
Kako si upajo prikrivati, da gre za skupno 30.000 litrov sinteticnega olja postavljenega
v drugi in tretji vodovarstveni pas reke Rizane ( 80 stolpov krat 370 litrov je 30.000 litrov ),
kjer je po zakonu prepovedana vsaka industrija ali obrt, ki lahko ogroza pitno vodo.
Obvestil sem veliko odgovornih ljudi, tudi preko spletne strani Obala.net in ko gre za pitno vodo, so se ljudje ze zaceli spraševati , ali je vredno sprejeti tako tveganje . Nekateri so se zgovarjali, kot , saj gre zeleznica le 100 metrov od izvira in …
Leta 1967, ko so postavljali zelezniško progo se niso veliko spraševali o zavarovanju vode in tudi tehnologija gradnje ni bila tako razvita kot danes. Danes pa postaja voda vse bolj pomembnejša.
V casopisu ( Delo 6.9.2003 ) ze piše, da bo nova zelezniška proga Koper - Divaca potekala po cisto novi trasi in se bo umaknila vodovarstvenim pasovom reke Rizane ( 2005- 2007 ).
Vetrne elektrarne pa bodo ostale vecna groznja pitni vodi Slovenske Istre, saj bodo ob orkanski burji ( VE so skonstruirane za maksimalni veter 250 km/h ) ali potresu, tempirana bomba .
Dne 14. 3 . 2003 so odstranili najvišji na crno zgrajen merilni stolpa na Golicu.
Sam sem poslikal, kako so ga nalagali na kamion, seveda sem novico o tem takoj postavil na spletno stran in na Obala.net.
26. april 2003 okrogla miza v Rakitovcu : VE so še vedno aktualne s strani investitorjev.
Tudi sam sem sodeloval na okrogli mizi in poudarjal, da , da je planota Golic prevec pomembna, da bi jo tako unicili.
5. junij 2003 odgovor evropske komisarke Margot Wallström, da jim je naše ministrstvo zagotovilo, da na Golicu ne bo VE.
Poleti 2003 sem izvedel o nagradah druzbe FORD za ohranjanje naravne in kulturne dedinšcine in sem sklenil, da se prijavim na razpis.

Ravno te dni v prilogi Delo : Znanost 8. 9.03 spet pišejo o VE na Slovenskem in spet omenjajo Golic.
Prav zaradi širše neobvešcenosti :
- da na Golicu poteka projekt Natura2000,
- da je to vodovarstveno obmocje ( drugi in tretji vodovarstveni pas reke Rizane ), da ima vsaka vetrna turbina najmanj 370 litrov sinteticnega olja,
- da bodo vidne iz svetovno znanih Hrastovelj ,
si Projekt Ohranitve planote Golic zasluzi vec medijske pozornosti,
kar bi si zagotovo pridobil z Vašo nagrado.

Projekt ohranitve Golica je pomemben tako za Slovenijo kot tudi v svetovnem merilu.
Evropa ne bi kar tako podpirala , da je Golic potencialno obmocje Nature2000.

Na zalost planota Golic še vedno ni zavarovana ( 12.9.2003 ) in projekt ohranitve poteka naprej, dokler ne bodo v Drzavnem zboru planoto Golic uradno potrdili kot naravno vrednoto drzavnega pomena in jo bodo tako za vedno zašcitili .

O spletni strani :

Spletna stran www.oocities.org/zelenanarava je na glavni strani imela ze preko 1768 obiska,
skupaj z vsemi podstranemi pa preko 5.000 obiska. Na spletni strani je 67 slik o Golicu.
Prav tako si obiskovalec pridobi veliko novega znanja o vetrnih elektrarnah.
Vetrne elektrarne so cist vir pridobivanja energije, vendar ne spadajo na neokrnjena obmocja.
Naj jih postavijo tam , kjer je okolje ze degradirano.
Z razvojem racunalništva in interneta smo zakorakali v novo dobo informiranja ljudi.
Spletna stran je vidna po celemu svetu in veliko ljudi je sedaj, ko spremljamo delo odgovornih ljudi bolj odgovorna . Tudi evropski komisarji za varstvo okolja se odzivajo na e-maile in odgovarjajo. Vsi njihovi e-maili so objavljeni na spletni strani.
Mogoce kdo sedaj še ne vidi pomena in vpliva spletne strani : zelenanarava, vendar se bo scasoma pokazalo, kakšen pomen je imela ohranitev planote Golic in grebenov okoli njega.
Saj so ti grebeni prav tako pomembni kot koralni grebeni v morju, kjer je zivljenjska raznovrstnost in specificna pokrajina z bogatim rastlinstvom in zivalstvom. najbogatejša.
Clovek se v naglici današnjega casa pocasi zaveda vrednosti takega neokrnjenega podrocja, kjer se bo duhovno in telesno bogatil in se bo vsaj obcasno srecal s prvobitno naravo.
Jo bomo znali ohraniti ?

Pri projektu : Ohranitev Golica pred vetrnimi elektrarnami gre za najvecji projekt ohranitve naravnega okolja in kulturne dedinšcine, ki poteka v Sloveniji v letu 2003.

Je en napev od zmeraj.
Edini, ki gre sam od sebe
In bo tekel v vecnost z oblaki.
Po Strugi med grebeni
Je pot med nami in ...

Glavni namen projekta je ohranitev planote Golic in se je razvijal spontano
( za nagrado druzbe Ford sem izvedel letos poleti 2003 ). Kar sem pri projektu spoznal je, da ljudje varujejo samo tisto , kar poznajo, samo tisti ljudje, ki se jih je nedotaknjena narava na Golicu dotaknila, hocejo zašcititi to divjino tudi na naše potomce.
Lahko je nekaj pokvariti, veliko tezje je to ocuvati, kar sem tudi sam spoznal, koliko energije, casa in dela sem posvetil temu projektu in tudi ce ne bom dobil Vaše nagrade, bom vseeno vesel, ce bomo uspeli ohraniti to neokrnjeno divjino.
Planota Golic še vedno ni zavarovana in upam, da nam bo Evropska skupnost pomagala zavarovati tako nedotaknjenost in prvinskost.
Upam, da ste s spletne strani Zelena narava spoznali moj projekt - in odkrili še en delcek - planoto Golic v mozaiku naše prelepe Slovenije.
Ga bomo znali ohraniti ?

Ohranitev Planote Golic pred postavitvijo vetrnih elektrarn je tudi Evropski projekt,

kar nam priznava evropska komisarka za okolje Margot Wallström.

O projektu :
Projekt ni placan, je prostovoljen in ne more biti primerljiv s placanimi projekti.
Na tem projektu je narejeno toliko, kolikor so prostovoljci voljni delati brezplacno.
Ker pa je ta projekt odraz civilne druzbe, je neodvisen in pokaze realno stanje kakrsno je danes v Sloveniji.
Ta projekt : Ohranitev Golica pred vetrnimi elektrarnami, ni nastal za pobiranje nagrad ali kaj podobnega ( zacel se je 2002 ), temvec izkljucno ljubiteljsko in prostovoljno,
ker nam ni bilo vseeno, kako se v Sloveniji dela z biseri naravne in kulturne dedinšcine.
Kot je napisal Francis Fukuyama v knjigi - Konec cloveštva : internet je postal instrument demokratizacije dostopa do informacij in decentralizacije politike. Ni Veliki brat tisti, ki opazuje, pac pa ljudje s pomocjo racunalnikov in interneta opazujejo Velikega brata.
V primeru strani Zelena narava ljudje opazujejo in sledijo celemu poteku in ce to ne zaleze,
potek spremljajo tudi drugi ljudje po svetu in v EU, ki so odgovorni za dolocene zadeve
(primer natura2000- g. Margot Wallström ). Prav zanimivo je, da nam tujci bolj odgovarjajo na e-maile.
Da za vetrne elektrarne, toda ne povsod - ne kjerkoli. Tako pravi tudi Greenpeace .
Ljudje morajo spoznati, da nedotaknjena narava ima najvecjo vrednost, vecjo od zelene energije in ta zelena ni prava barva, ker je nesprejemljivo, da bodo naši zadnji koscki cudovite pokrajine tezko industrializirani z vetrnimi elektrarnami in tako za vedno uniceni za ljudi in ptice.

Nedotaknjena narava ima vecjo vrednost od vetrne energije, ki je samo ponarejena - neprava zelena resiteljica.

Pravzaprav so vetrne elektrarne novodobni onesnazevalec narave in kradljivec tisine.

Nekega dne, bo nagrado Ford za ohranitev naravne in kulturne dedinscine dobil projekt,

ki bo obvaroval naravo pred vetrnimi elektrarnami .

Je to mogoce projekt Zelena narava iz Slovenije ( 2003 )? Ali pa se bo to zgodilo v bliznji prihodnosti ?

Najvecje darilo, ki ga lahko pustimo nasim otrokom je prelepa in mirna neokrnjena narava.

Registration Project on invitation for Ford Conservation and Environmental Grants 2003 :

Protection Plateu Golic before setting up of wind power plants ( Slovenia )

Internet web side: Green nature - Zelena narava is project of preservation of physical environment and of cultural heritage Of Slovenia-of plateau Golic over Kras edge before setting up of wind power plants.

He's going for protection :

- of intact nature, of animal and of plants
- of important vital place 55 % of all lived butterflies in Slovenia, of threatened birds , eagle Snake, golden eagle, of harriers, eagle hornet, of owls, postovk, griffon from Kvarner ,
endemic type of wall ,
- of dry stone Kras meadows, which are rarity in Europe,
- of rare vegetable types - Ucenska bodeca Neza and Cicarijski dimek - unresearch smoke ,
- unresearch remainders of ancient construction - gradisce,
- of water-protection range of river of Rizana, which almost in whole covers Slovene Istria with drinking water
-of visual and of cultural qualities of place and influences on cultural heritage as vedute and of historical value world- known Hrastovlje and Kras edge
-of hydrogeological reserve park of river Of Rizana

When si all this read through, goes for at the moment the biggest project of preservation of physical environment and of cultural heritage, which goes in Slovenia in 2003.

On beginning are not even alone am not think,
that goes for so big project, this much collecting of information, of notifying of responsible humans, of translation, of sheaths of pictures, of writing of articles for newspapers, sheath PHOTOGRAPH of exhibition , of search of all factors against wind power plants ( water-protection range, oil in wind turbines and veduta Hrastovlje ),
that is plateau Golic so important so for Slovenia as for Europe and that simply wind power plants don't belong to on such important range as for animal and of plant such for human.

All data were seting on web page and of her under head index. .

How is all together begin :

Already in spring 2002 against the first news, that think to set of wind power plant on Golic,am decide, that will taste to keep plateau Golic before setting up of wind power plants. Seem me is impossible, that them think to set to intact nature.
I am for wind power plant, however let them set in already degrade environment.For us Primorce

( people from Slovene coast ) is Golic as Slovene mountain Triglav. To every , which has seen plateau Golic and grass area around, which extend from Zbevnice over Kavcic, Lipnik till Golic, and which has in oneself something respect till intact nature , is awake nature protection sense..

Slovenian Istria is already almost in whole dense colonise and here bad 30km from Koper and only fling from world known Hrastovlje,have intactly nature and really wilderness,which in Europe is not more.Follow is a lot writing and of sending ofnewspaper articles to newspapers, writing all parties,to European commissioner to Zoltan Walliczky ,to minister for environment and place and to president Of Slovenia.

In Koper have spoken with minister for environment and place Mr.Janez Kopac,let no allow of such intervention to intact nature.Was am also on ecological march,which are him organise To celery Of Koper,however is because of threatenings of locals and of too big politics not take place.

At that time 16th of June 2002 were on summit Golic only three peoples and two horses.Investors of wind power plants are on Golic set all measurer for wind on blackly .That would keep plateau Golic and her intactly wilderness also for our descendants and of future generation, am decide, that set web page: Green nature - Zelena narava on Internet and over her notify and inform other people to care till environment. On page have also two mail addresses e-mail ,
where were collecting and inform people, of responsible organisation and humans around Slovenia and across the globe. On web page were seting all novelty in connection with Golic and his preservation.Right over e-mail was mountaineer notify about setting up 43rd meter tower on Golic. This tower was from former two also set on blackly and such have notified of responsible about all. Response was bad.

Over e-mail am connect with known Slovenian biologists Mr. Andrej Gogala, Mr. Mitja Kaligaric and country architect Ana Kucan. We were exchanging data and opinions.Alone am over Internet get hugely data, that are wind turbines noisy and that on countryside hear till 3rd km far and that is on world over 600 groups, which are against this, that wind power plants set to intact environment.

In Koper in Central study library is were whole month November 2002 my independent photograph exhibition : Realize of our beauty with pictures from Golic. All costs of developing of pictures have financed alone ( over twenty of pictures A4 format ). I'm thanking to manager central study library , that has enabled place in library hall for exhibition.Care awakedly was un activity responsible humans and of organisations. I've written a lot articles to Slovene newspapers Delo and Primorske novice of news but all me haven't published.

I've tried to tell, that can such intactly wilderness and nature can destroy only once and this for always. Right such am a lot acolyte in connection with Golic publish on web page Obala.net ( information web portal of happening on shore ), where is already begin to spread care till intact environment.

Of December 2002 have figured out that will wind power plants of visual from Hrastovlje and will spoil veduta Hrastovlje. Only what si will think about us foreign turist , when will examine world known fresco and will in background Of Hrastovlje on Kras edge of visual wind power plant. Notify are also Rkc church in Slovenia let no allow this project, for made will eternal damage.

February 2003: Right such have found out from makers of wind turbines, that has every wind turbine at least 370 Liters of synthetic oil for grease and cooling. Because are in Slovenian Istria all dependent from river of Rizana for drinking water, is were this news alarmist. How they can cover,that goes for almost 30.000 liters of synthetic oil set

in second and the third water-protection belt of river of Rizana ( 80 towers times 370 litres is 30.000 litres ),where is round act forbidden every industry or craft, which can threatens drinking water.Notify am a lot responsible humans, also over web page Obala.net and when goes for drinking water, are people already begin to ask,or is worthily to accept such risk .

Some are excuse, as,because goes railway only 100 meters from source and.Of year 1967, when are set railway line are not a lot ask about insurance of water and also technology of construction wasn't so developed as today. Today becomes water all more more important.In newspaper (Delo 6.9.2003 ) already writes,that will new railway line Koper-Divaca go for cleanly to new alignment and will withdraw to water-protection belts of river of Rizana (2005- 2007.
Of wind power plant will stay eternal threat to drinking water Of Slovenian Istria, because will against hurrican wind northeaster ( wind power plants are construct for maximum wind 250 km/to) or to earthquake, time bomb.

Of day 14.3.2003 have removed the highest on blackly built measuring towers on Golic.Alone have foto, how are him deceive on truck, of course am news about this at once set on web page and on Obala.net

26thApril 2003 round table in Rakitovec : wind power plants are still always topical from page of investors.Also alone were participating on round-table and emphasize, that , that is plateau Golic so much important, that would her such destroy.5thJune 2003 answer of European commissioner Margot Wallström, that them is our ministry ensure, that on Golic no will wind power plants.
In summer 2003 have found out about prizes of company FORD for keeping of natural and of cultural heritage and have decided, that register on invitation for grants.
Straight you days in supplement Delo : Znanost - Science 8.9.03 again write about wind power plants on Slovenia and again mention Golic.
Right because of more broadly uninformed that on Golic goes project Natura2000,

that is this water-protection range ( to other and the third water-protection belt of river of river Rizana ),

that has every wind turbine at least 370 litres of synthetic oil,

that will of visual from world known Hrastovlje ,

Project Of preservation of plateau Golic earn more medium attention,with will assure Ford Grant.

Project of preservation Golic is important so for Slovenia as also in world measure.Europe no would what such support , that is Golic potential range Nature2000.

Unfortunately plateau Golic still always is not insured ( 12.9.2003) and project of preservation goes forward, as long as no will in National Assembly plateau Golic officially confirm as naturally value of state meaning and her will such forever protect .

Web page is on main page have already over 1768 guests,together with all underside over 5.000 guests. On web page is 67 pictures about Golic.Right so visitor acquires a lot new knowledge about wind power plants.

Wind power plant are clean source of production of energy, however don't belong to on intact ranges.Let them set there ,where is environment already degrade.

With development of computer science and of Internet are march in new age of informing people.Web page is visual at whole world and a lot people is now, when monitor work of responsible humans more responsible . Also European commissioners for custody of environment respond on e-maile and be responsible. All their e-maili are published on web page. Perhaps who now still doesn't see of meaning and influences of web page, what meaning is have preservation of plateau Golic and of ridges round him.Because are you ridges right so important as coral reefs in sea, where is vital diversity and specificity country with rich flora and fauna the richest.Human in haste of today's time slowly realizes of value of such intact field,where will religious and bodily enrich and will at least at times meet with primary nature.We'll know to keep?

That is project : Protection Golic before kepping wind power plant in Europe important , recognize also European commissioner for environment Margot Wallstrom.

Is one lyric from always.
Only, which goes alone from oneself
And will run to eternity with cloud

For Riverbed between ridges
Is way between us and ...

The intention of project is preservation of plateau Golic and was developing spontaneously ( for prize company Ford have found out this year in summer 2003 ). What am at project realize is, that humans protect only that , what know, only that humans, which them is intact nature on Golic touch, want to protect this wilderness also on our descendants.
Can is something to spoil, a lot more heavily is this preserve, what am also alone realize, how many energy, of time and works have devoted to this project and
Is not insured and hope, that us will European community help to insure such intact and primary .I'm hoping,that are from web page Green nature - Zelena narava realize project - and discover still one particle-plateau Golic in mosaic of our too beautiful Slovenia.We'll know to keep?

Project : Protection Plateu Golic before setting wind power plants is for at the moment the biggest project of preservation of physical environment and of cultural heritage, which goes in Slovenia in 2003.

About the project :

Project is not paid, is voluntary and can't be comparable with paid projects.
On this project is made so much as much are volunteers willing to work without charge.
Because is project expression of civil company, is independent and show real situation
what is in Slovenia today.
This project : Protection upland Golic before setting up wind power plants has not orginated
for picking up prizes or what similar ( proceed from 2002 ),
but solely amateur and vountarily, because we don't like the way ,
how in Slovenia works with pearls of natural and cultural heritage.
As has written Francis Fukuyama in book - Ending of mankind : Internet has become
instrument of democatrization of access till information and decentralization of policy.
Is not Big brothers that, which observes, but people with help computers and
internet observe Big brother.
For instance of web side : Green nature - zelena narava people observe and follow to
whole course and if this is not enough, course observe also people across
the globe and in EU, which are responsible for established matter ( for instance natura2000 -
mrs. Margot Wallström ). It is interesting, that strangers are more responsible on our e-mail.

Yes for wind power plants, but not in everyplace ( Greenpeace ).

People must recognize, that intact nature are the most evalution then wind green energy, and this green is not the right colour, because it is unacceptable that our last great landscapes should be heavily industrialised with wind turbines
and for ever destroy for people and birds.

Intact nature has bigger value as wind energy, which is bogus green saviour.

Actually wind turbines are newage big pollutant of environment and thief of silence.

Some day will Ford Conservation and Environmental grant get project ,

which will protect intact nature before setting up Wind power plants.

Is this perhaps project of Green nature from Slovenia ( 2003 ) ? Or maybe this will happen in nearly future ?

The greatest gift we can leave to our children is a beautiful nad tranquil intact countryside.

Also Greenpeace reply, that not automatically supports the construction of wind turbines in any place.

Thank you all biologist, country architect and other humans who are anyway help us to protect and preservation of natural and of cultural heritage Of Slovenia.

Upamo, da se ministrstvo zaveda, da planota Golic spada v Drugi vodovarstveni pas reke Rizane, ki skoraj v celoti pokriva

s preskrbo pitne vode vso Slovensko Istro in da nikjer na svetu Vetrnih elektrarn ne postavljajo na taka obmocja zaradi potencialnega onesnazenja pitne vode s sinteticnim oljem ( vsaka vetrna turbina ima okoli 370 litrov olja, 370 x 80 vetrnih elektrn = 30.000 litov olja ). Da bodo vetrne elektrarne vidne iz Hrastoveljskega tabora in da na tem podrocju ze poteka Evropski projekt Natura2000.

Hope, that ministry realizes, that plateau of Golice belongs to Second water protect zone of river Rizane, which almost to whole covers with drinking water entire Slovene Istria and that nowhere on world of wind power plants no set on such ranges because of potential pollution of drinking water with synthetic oil ( every wind turbine has round 370 litres of oil ,370 x 80 Wind turbines = 30.000 litres of oil ). That will of wind power plants of visual from Hrastovlje church - tabor ( The dance of death - freske ) and that on this field already goes European project Natura2000.

Let of Golic stays goal and let him however Mr. minister Janez Kopac at once put in to spatial plan between most highly Natural treasure R. Of Slovenia.

Naj Golic ostane gol in naj ga vendar g. minister Janez Kopac ze enkrat umesti v prostorski plan

med najvišje Naravne vrednote R. Slovenije.
