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

We’re so proud to have nominated Mariluz (Huaynakana Kamatahuara Kana) for The Goldman Environmental Prize, and thrilled she deservedly won! 🌍🏆 Her decision to pursue legal personhood for the river comes from a deep, sacred connection.

Last week in San Francisco, we gathered with river defenders to celebrate Mari Luz (Huaynakana Kamatahuara Kana) and her community's groundbreaking achievement: securing legal personhood for Peru's majestic Marañón River — a victory that creates a powerful precedent for waterways globally.
