Work has already begun on constructing a new Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat at an elevation of 2,500 meters. Measuring ten by four meters, the ship is being built by Greenpeace, to remind leaders of all nations, shortly before the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, that there's not much time left to mitigate a climate disaster with devastating consequences for all. A caravan of 40 horses hauled twelve cubic-meters of prefabricated wooden sections to an elevation of 2,500 meters, where work has now begun on constructing supports as well as the keel and ribs of the boat. During the coming weeks, 20 German and Turkish carpenters will complete the construction of the boat, which can later serve as a mountain hut. It will be turned over to the public in an official ceremony on 31 May 2007. One day before, a group of climbers at the 5,137-meter summit of Mount Ararat will call on the leaders of all nations to make climate protection a reality.In original language:Arche Noah auf dem Berg AraratGreenpeace baut eine neue Arche Noah auf dem Berg Ararat in Anatolien als Warnung vor der bevorstehenden Klimakatastrophe. In einer Hoehe von 2500 Metern wird das 10 x 4 Meter grosse Schiff von tuerkischen und deutschen Aktivisten zusammengebaut. Dazu werden 12 m3 Holz mit 40 Pferden auf den Berg transportiert. Die Arche soll die Fuehrer der G8-Staaten, die sich in Heiligendamm treffen, daran errinnern, dass nur noch wenig Zeit verbleibt Schritte gegen den drohenden Klimawandel zu unternehmen. Spaeter soll das Schiff als Berghuette fuer Wanderer dienen.Locations:Europe-Heybeliada-Mount AraratDate:17 May, 2007Credit:© Greenpeace / Manuel CitakMaximum size:2544px X 1696pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Climate (campaign title)-Climate change-Construction-Day-G8 (organisation)-KWCI (GPI)-Manual workers-Outdoors-Rocks-Small group of people-Sunny-TimberShoot:Climate Action with Noah's Ark in TurkeyGreenpeace builds Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat, the biblical mountain, to warn of impending climate disaster.
