VOICED : Bosnian nature reserve threatened by hydr

Hutovo Blato, a nature reserve in Bosnia, is home to over 240 bird species but faces threats from a planned hydroelectric project. The project could transform the area into peatland, harming wildlife and agriculture. Environmental groups oppose the project, which is part of a larger hydroelectric system in Bosnia and Croatia. The project could worsen salinization in Croatia's Metkovic region, affecting crops. Bosnia, a rare electricity exporter in Southeast Europe, uses only 30% of its hydroelectric potential, but the environmental cost of increasing this is high.
