德国和丹麦即将修建的桥梁 15-12-2006 德国和丹麦即将修建的桥梁将为鸟类带来灾难

国际鸟盟德国会员NABU对这项工程的经济效益也提出置疑，认为是不可持续的。近来在欧盟修建的桥梁和隧道显示，如此耗资52亿欧元的工程，一旦有别的交通方式发展起来，很难在中短期取得效益，而这将成为公共预算的强大负担。

Conservationists are concerned about the intention of the European Union, the Kingdom of Denmark and the Federal Republic of Germany to build a huge cable-stayed bridge linking the Isle of Fehmarn (GER) and Lolland (DK) – currently linked by a ferry service – across the Fehmarnbelt.

The construction will affect one of Europe´s most important bird migration routes, used by up to 90 million migratory birds annually, including almost 20,000 raptors, around 300,000 Eider ducks, 50,000 – 80,000 Brent and Barnacle geese, together with 1,000 Divers.

“We are also concerned about the impact on endangered marine mammals such as the harbour porpoise and seals. Any construction works would severely impact populations, and the resulting sea flow changes would also harm marine fauna in the area.” he continued.
