At the core of the Save the Blue Heart of Europe campaign are dedicated activists and passionate local communities whose commitment drives real change. These activists lead grassroots efforts and online campaigns, raising awareness and rallying public support to keep rivers wild. By working with NGOs, scientists, and other institutions, they help create stronger river conservation plans.

• Activists and local communities have successfully safeguarded wild rivers from harmful hydropower projects, ensuring long-term protection.
• They empower others through protests, workshops, and ecotourism initiatives, fostering stewardship.
• The BH campaign's success inspired similar movements worldwide, and several activists won international recognition, such as the Goldman Environmental Prize.
