Rastislav Mičaník

Rastislav Mičaník is the director of the environmental organization Aevis, which is advocating for stronger protection measures for the Poloniny National Park in Slovakia. He has been vocal about concerns regarding a new zoning proposal that significantly weakens the planned protection of this ecologically vital area, particularly in relation to the water reservoir Starina, which supplies drinking water to much of eastern Slovakia. Mičaník emphasizes the importance of preserving the region's natural beauty for sustainable tourism and local economic development.
