My thanks to all those of you who responded to my appeal to protect the Mount Goverla Reserve: the Biodiversity Conservation Center, the Dront Eco-Center, Nikolai Sobolev, Anatoly Levin, Oleg Suprunenko, Andrei Semenov and other comrades. It is my pleasure to inform you of our first success: when he began to receive “letters from far away”, Ukrainian Minister of Ecological Resources S. Kurykin fired Mr. Prihodko, Head of the Ivano-Frankovsky Regional Department, for all the appalling things that had been done to Mount Goverla.
Together we will force bureaucrats and business bulls to love wild nature or at least to leave it alone.
