As the construction of Canal Barga was getting closer to the nature reserves, experts are taking great care to prevent pollution. Mules were used instead of cranes, so as to minimize the footprint of the construction. "It is well-worth it," said Lars Anderssen, the CEO of Connection Saletsia, "the beauty of Saletsian nature is simply priceless." The company has also taken serious precautions not to pollute the water in the nature reserves, even when the canal gets operational. There are also special fences built to prevent animals from drinking the salt water from the canal.
