Freshwater systems are threatened like no other ecosystem globally. In Europe, the last intact rivers are located in the Balkan region, but are severely at risk due to 3000 projected dams. Riverwatch and EuroNatur have come up with a scientifically founded plan to protect these river jewels: the Eco-Masterplan for Balkan Rivers, defining no-go zones for future hydropower development.

For the purpose of today’s World Water Day, we present to you this video explaining the Eco-Masterplan for Balkan Rivers in two minutes.
