Flamingoes and other wildlife under threat from Albanian tourism development backed by country's premier

Residents in Albania  have taken to the streets of the capital, Tirana, to protest against a  £1.2-billion luxury tourism development that  will destroy precious wildlife habitat including the Narta Lagoon area on the western coast which is home to Flamingoes and well over a hundred other bird species, many of them rare. Foreign investors, including President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, are understood to be involved with the venture which also has the backing of Albania's prime minister, Edi Rama.
