Protecting the Amazon of Europe with Dragana Mileusnic
Om avsnittet
“The river is not only valuable for its biodiversity but also for the culture and spiritual significance that it has for communities.”
The Amazon of Europe stretches across five countries and is one of the places where there are still wild, pristine rivers. Dragana Mileusnic from The Nature Conservancy is part of the United for Rivers project helping to protect these precious freshwater gems for future generations.
It’s an area which encompasses a treasure trove of nature and culture. However, Southeast Europe is now in the grips of a hydropower development boom. The Nature Conservancy is working to help countries achieve their green energy potential whilst conserving natural beauty and diversity.
Join rewilding enthusiast and financier Ben Goldsmith as he speaks to environmental trail blazers from all corners of the globe.
Recent climate science seems to paint a picture of despair with irreparable damage being done to our natural world. But there are rays of hope. Across the planet people are carrying out astonishing work, returning large areas of land and oceans back to their former glory.
