Dam Threat
These rivers are severely threatened by over 3,400 planned dams, which would irreversibly devastate the last sanctuary for endangered and endemic river species.
Our mission
With the help of local activists, lawyers, scientists, artists and local communities, we aim to prevent this dam tsunami and save this natural European heritage from destruction.
Key areas
We concentrate on these key areas: the Vjosa river in Albania, the Mavrovo National Park in North-Macedonia, the rivers of Bosnia & Herzegovina and in Serbia.
