Summary
A luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner’s company is sparking outrage in Albania, threatening the protected Vjosa-Narta lagoon—a vital migratory bird haven including flamingos—and the former military island of Sazan, slated for tourist development. Worth four billion euros, the project has ignited mass protests across the country, with environmentalists and locals demanding transparency and halting irreversible ecological damage. While the Prime Minister insists it’s not approved and claims expert backing, activists remain defiant, framing this as a high-stakes clash between economic ambition and Mediterranean biodiversity.
