UNESCO: Non aux éoliennes du Mont Saint Michel 

Credit:  Fédération Environnement Durable ~~

La Fédération Environnement Durable (FED) se félicite de la décision du Comité du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco qui le 23 juin 2011 a officiellement demandé à la France la suspension des projets de parcs éoliens, y compris ceux déjà approuvés, qui pourraient avoir un impact visuel sur la baie du Mont-Saint-Michel.

Pour sauver ce site emblématique la FED et la plateforme européenne contre les éoliennes industrielles (EPAW), avaient organisé le 26 septembre 2009 une marche internationale dans la baie du Mont Saint-Michel, qui avait regroupé des citoyens de plus de 23 pays.

Depuis cette date avec la Fédération régionale Basse Normandie Environnement (BNE) elle a mené un combat sans répit en faisant appel à l’opinion internationale pour sauver le Mont Saint Michel des 11 projets éoliens en cours qui le menacent. Elle s’était révoltée notamment contre l’accord par les services de l’État d’un premier permis de construire d’un parc éolien à Argouges Manche.

Elle remercie l’Unesco et l’association Europa Nostra regroupant plus de 250 organisations non gouvernementales et dont les prises de position ont été sans ambigüité.

Elle prend acte de la clairvoyance des Sénateurs de la Commission de la Culture du Sénat qui se sont rendus sur place et ont exprimé leur vive inquiétude de voir ce site déclassé du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco.

The Sustainable Environment Federation (FED) welcomes the decision of the World Heritage Committee of Unesco, who on June 23, 2011, formally requested France to suspend wind farm projects, including those already approved, that could have a visual impact on the bay of Mont Saint Michel.

To save this iconic site, the FED and the European Platform Against Industrial Wind Turbines (EPAW), had organized an international march on September 26, 2009, at the bay of Mont Saint Michel, which brought together citizens of more than 23 countries.

Since then, with the Lower Normandy Environment Regional Federation (BNE), it has conducted a relentless struggle by appealing to world opinion to save Mont Saint Michel from 11 wind projects threatening it. It had notably opposed the approval by the state of the first building permit for a wind farm in Argouges Manche.

FED thanks UNESCO and the Europa Nostra association of more than 250 nongovernmental organizations and their taking of such an unambiguous position.

It acknowledges the foresight of the Senators of the Committee of Culture who have stood their ground and expressed their deep concern about seeing the site decommissioned as a UNESCO World Heritage.
