    Just your average news hound.

    Post TATA to pristine flamingo lake

    News from the RSPB site

    The world's most important breeding site for the endangered lesser flamingo could soon be destroyed by industrial pollution.

    Developers want to build a huge soda ash plant on the internationally protected Lake Natron in Tanzania pumping salty water from the lake for the production and export of sodium carbonate or washing soda. They also plan to house more than 1,000 construction staff on site.

    Lake Natron hosts more than 500,000 lesser flamingos in summer – 75 per cent of the world’s breeding population - and has been the bird’s only nesting site in East Africa for 45 years.
