"Dear EOU members,
On behalf of the Czech Society for Ornithology (CSO), I kindly ask your participation in a letter of support to save the Sumava national park.
The park comprises the most extensive forest ecosystem in central Europe, and the last remaining nesting place of the capercaillie in the Czech Republic . It is also home to three-toed woodpecker, pygmy owl, tengmalm's owl, as well as many other rare mountain species. Thanks to this uniqueness, the Sumava has been classified as a Special Protected Area within the Natura 2000 network. Unfortunately, current management of the national park acts against its conservation goals, and the situation deteriorates. CSO has been active as a provider of scientific knowledge for a sound the park management, but this information has been completely ignored. Thus, the CSO appeals to its members and supporters to send a letter to the Prime Minister and, because of the international importance of Sumava National part, also to the international community. The English version of the letter to the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic is available at this link: http://www.birdlife.cz/letterSumava.html where you can find some more info.
CSO will appreciate any support in this case.
Sincerely,
Petr Vorisek - coordinator of the Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (PECBMS)"

Thanks to Dave for this. It sounds like a fantastic, hugely-important place albeit one beset with conflict and debate. Should 'we' intervene and start forest clearance (presumably giving the timber industry a nice little payday) or should we monitor the effects of bark beetle and be prepared to accept widespread, naturally-occuring changes. You decide. Then get on the blower to Mr Necas.
