Bjork just shared a video asking viewers to take action to save Iceland's highlands. She's calling for people to protest the construction of overhead powerlines, dams & powerplants in the countries wilderness. Towards the end of the video she calls for global support against the govenment. View the transcript/video below.
Icelanders have a deadline. For 11 more days they can go online and protest an overhead high voltage power-line. It will be built across the whole island. Iceland has now the largest untouched nature in Europe. This would end that. The government has plans to build over 50 dams and power plants in this area, and to start next year. This could end Iceland's wilderness in a few years. We propose to start a national park in our highlands. Surveys have already proved that the majority of Icelanders are behind us. We ask for the world to support us against our government.
Bjork will be holding a press conference later with writer/environmentalist Andri Snær Magnason to discuss the need for action in more detail.
