Our condolences for all those who suffer floods in Greece, Turkey & Bulgaria. Climate change is hitting hard, but land use change also worsens its impact. Restoring the functionality of our landscapes is as urgent as reducing emissions. No time to waste https://t.co/YLY1xIk8W3

🏞️ Restoring European rivers by removing outdated dams could be the key to unlocking ecosystems and allowing fish to swim freely once again. Let's act now! #RiverRestoration
“Whenever we can remove dams that are not needed, that are aging, that’s going to make for safe communities in addition to benefits about habitat, fisheries, and cleaner and healthier water.” Amy Singler, Director of River Restoration at American Rivers https://t.co/TgYqFIuCsX

🌍💪 25 activists from WWF and GLOBAL2000 stood up for nature today, opposing the flooding of Platzertal in Tyrol for a needless pumped storage power plant. Together, we can protect our precious rivers and ecosystems! #SavePlatzertal #NatureConservation
25 Umweltaktivisten von WWF und GLOBAL2000 spannten heute ein 250 m2 großes Transparent quer durchs 2.300 m hoch gelegene Platzertal in Tirol - warum? Weil die Tiwag das Tal mitsamt seinem Moorgebiet für ein sinnloses Pumpspeicherkraftwerk fluten will. Platzertal bleibt! 🌍🌈✔
