Congratulations to the Brave Women of Kruscica and Ms. Bilal in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) on winning a prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize for a relentless fight to save their river from small hydro, in the face of an armed police attack, intimidation and legal threats.
This big win comes on the heels of a global activist campaign to ban new small hydropower plants in BiH. Unfortunately, these wins are not enough to save some 240 of the last free flowing rivers in Europe from going into concrete pipes. It is now crucial for the Federation of BiH (FBiH) government to adopt the pending Law on Electrical Power to permanently ban construction of hundreds of planned small hydro projects, and revise all the active permits, many issued illegally.
The global conservation community is urging the FBiH House of Peoples headed by Tomislav Martinović to take action now, present the draft law to the delegates, and preserve the precious Bosnian rivers.

Albania’s Vjosa River is the largest wild river in Europe. From the mountains of Greece to the Adriatic Sea in Albania, it spans 300 kilometers, completely free of artificial barriers, like hydropower dams. The rivers and streams that are tributaries of the Vjosa are home to more than 1,100 wildlife species, many of which are threatened.
The Vjosa is the crown of the #BlueHeartofEurope and people across Albania want to protect it forever. They are asking to government of Albania to create #VjosaNationalParkNow, which would be the very first wild river park in Europe.
Stand with them. Watch and share the new film Vjosa Forever and sign the petition:

After positive developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina where the Federal Prime Minister and his government have pledged to take legal steps immediately and protect the country's Blue Heart rivers, there is very promising news coming from Albania. Vjosa, one of Europe’s last big wild rivers might be saved from hydropower development.
On September 25th, Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that the Kalivaç dam project was rejected and that the area will become a national park. The Vjosa Wild River National Park would become Europe’s largest river conservation site covering several hundred kilometers of rivers and streams and protecting hundreds or even thousands of species like the globally endangered European eel and the recently discovered Vjosa stonefly.
This would be a huge achievement for Albania and the rest of Europe, and the park could become a role model for the Biodiversity Strategy within the framework of the Green Deal. Looking forward to more good news about concrete actions for permanent and full river protection in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and the rest of the Balkan's Blue Heart region.

大稻埕碼頭有很大的變化,這樣子的規劃我覺得很棒。台北真需要這種空間。週末全家可以一起去放鬆一下,走一走。歐洲這種空間非常的多。台北也可以跟歐洲學,把我們的城市弄的更美。💪 Taipei has many rivers and famous district DADAOCHENG pier now has a new space for everyone。I liked this planning of Taipei city。Hope they continue to make out city more beautiful。
