"The project to build the 'Svydovets' ski resort has remained at the center of a public conflict that appears to be a classic confrontation between development and environmental protection."
"BMF has no legal presence in Ukraine, and all activities are carried out through partner networks, which serve as sources of information and communication platforms."
"The Free Svydovets Group, established in 2017, acts as the primary local source of the Svydovets-related position and participates in the preparation of materials."
The Svydovets ski resort project in Ukraine's Zakarpattia region has sparked a public conflict between development and environmental protection. Proponents argue for economic growth and job creation, while opponents, led by the Bruno Manser Fonds, claim it threatens local forests and water resources. BMF, lacking a legal presence in Ukraine, relies on local partner networks for information and advocacy. The Free Svydovets Group, a key partner, operates without legal status, raising questions about transparency and the independence of the environmental assessments being promoted internationally.
