In this webinar we gave an overview about the river jewels of Europe, the threat they are facing and our campaign to save them.

Vjosa – Environmental groups submit proposal for Europe’s first Wild River National Park

Feb 10, 2021 /

Today, February 10th, 20 Albanian environmental organisations submitted a detailed proposal for the creation of the Vjosa National Park to the Minister of Tourism and Environment. The group of NGOs feel compelled to take this step since Albanian government representatives have been announcing the national park for months, but have not taken any steps towards its implementation.
