Cool

When I met Rok Rozman & @carmenekuntz from @balkanriverstour last year, I was instantly inspired by their efforts to clean up the act of European businesses, banks and governments with regard to the destructive (and sometimes illegal) damming of many of Europe’s last free-flowing rivers. The previous year, I met Dan Yates from @saveourrivers … a team working on local projects in the UK to protect our waterways from unnecessary dams. Both meetings occurred through my involvement with @kendalmountainfestival and sparked some highly interesting debates across the event. • @patagoniaeurope are helping to raise awareness about the need for dam free rivers through their new film BLUE HEART, and a whole load of activism. As with all causes, the first port of call for anyone new is to inform themselves … click on the link in my bio to find out more. • #livesimply #damnation #thedamtruth #saveourrivers #environment #activism #goahead #earthpix #oneearth (at Balkan Rivers Tour)

On June 20, they are hand delivering your signatures in London to a key financial player, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, to stop the further onslaught of devastating hydropower dams in the Balkans. More than 3,000 dams are proposed or already being built in the Balkans—on the last wild rivers in Europe. Sign the petition now to stop these destructive hydropower dams, before thousands of kilometers of wild river are irreversibly damaged. Link in their Bio to sign. @patagoniaeurope #thedamtruth #savetheblueheart (at Peniche, Portugal)

Hey! We made it to the Albanian TV and could speak some seconds about the very bed river destruction in the Valbona Valley!

Save The Blue Heart

Save The Blue Heart

The Balkan river systems is Europe’s true freshwater biodiversity hotspot. There are 69 fish species endemic to the area and over 40% of all Europe’s endangered freshwater mollusc species can be found in a Balkan river.

This paradise is under threat, these last great free flowing rivers of Europe will be lost in our lifetime unless we act.

Remember a few weeks back I posted about the environmental, economic and human challenges that dams present? Well, I have another question for you ... what would you do to protect the last healthy rivers in your own backyard? @patagonia ‘s new film ‘Blue Heart’ by @FarmLeague documents local activists in the Balkans fighting to save their rivers — the last pristine, free-flowing waterways in Europe. There is a full film being screened all over Europe, click the link in @patagoniaeurope profile to find where and when it’s showing near you. To ‘Save the Blue Heart of Europe’, sign the petition using the link in my bio. ✌🏼 LL • #thedamtruth #blueheart #saveourrivers #livesimply #dotherightthing #balkanriverstour (at Balkan River Defence)
