A rally against the construction of a landfill was held in the Kuban village of Sovetskaya.
Activists have been named There are 14 reasons why a landfill near the Zueva farmstead cannot be built. These include the site's location on the slope of the Urup River valley, close groundwater levels, landslides, the presence of a nearby underground gas storage facility, and more.
The speakers also discussed the harm that the landfill's construction could cause to people living nearby and to wildlife:
"The distance from the proposed landfill site to the land allocated for construction for large families is less than a kilometer. So, these large families will be breathing in the aromas of our proposed landfill."
"The adjacent area contains endangered plants. And if we take the nearby nature reserve, two families of white-tailed eagles were spotted there last year. This endangered species is listed not only in the regional and Russian Red Books, but also in the international Red Book. We can also encounter the griffon vulture there—another very rare bird."
A well-known ecologist supported the residents. Evgeniy Vitishko: he called on them to “press the situation” and prevent the construction of the landfill.
About 150 people took part in the rally.
"NeMoskva" wrote that as a result of protests by residents of the Poltavskaya village, was closed a landfill located near rice paddies.
