Revised Sophia solar plant project continues with serious impacts, say environmentalists

Environmental organizations have raised serious concerns about the revised solar power project Sophia, despite its reduced size. They argue that the project still poses significant threats to protected species and habitats. The project, located in a region of high ecological value, could lead to the destruction of thousands of protected trees and disrupt vital ecological corridors. Although the project's capacity has been reduced by 34%, the environmental impact remains substantial, affecting local biodiversity and agricultural activities. The organizations emphasize the need for renewable energy projects to prioritize ecological preservation and community respect.
