Josh Klemm (Josh Klemm) of International Rivers opens Letting Rivers Run Free by reminding us: this is a watershed moment. From legal victories to historic dam removals, communities are proving that river protection works. The Goldman Environmental Prize


Bestiana from EcoAlbania shares the hard-won story of the Vjosa River—one of Europe’s last truly wild rivers. After more than a decade of resistance, the Vjosa and its tributaries are now fully protected. A victory for ecosystems, science, and communities alike. The Goldman Environmental Prize


Olsi (EcoAlbania) shares insights on the Vjosa’s protection journey. While declaring it a National Park was a crucial step, it's not the final victory—50% of dams in the Balkans are planned in protected areas. 🚫 The fight continues, and staying vigilant is key. The Goldman Environmental Prize


Brook reflects on the historic Klamath Dam removals—the largest dam removal project in history, and the changes are already visible. 🌊🐟 In under a year: ✅ 6,000+ salmon returned ✅ Toxic algae reduced significantly ✅ Cleaner fishing nets & more fish The Goldman Environmental Prize
