This is result of so-called green hydropower. The Ulog HPP, BIH, most likely caused a dramatic fish kill. According to fishermen everything in the water died in Neretva river until 7km downstream the dam. www.klix.ba/vijesti/bih/...

Jüngst wurde mir geraten, in meinen Vorlesungen doch Hoffnung & Perspektive zu vermitteln. Gerade künftige Absolventen würden ja mal gebraucht. Aber ich kann das nicht sagen. Nicht mehr. Meine ehrlichsten drei Minuten dazu gab's voriges Semester. Da nun lange Videos gehen, poste ich es hier nochmal.

Back at source of Una. Pleasure to see the river having restored itself.

One year ago we stopped the hydro dam on Una. On August 10 we will celebrate the anniversary of this win. And we will give an update on how to proceed in keeping the Una alive. Join if you can.

One of Europe’s last wild rivers is still under threat from pollution, mining, water abstraction and chemical spills. Help protect this pristine wilderness and ask the Albanian government to stop these harmful activities before it’s too late. Act now. t.co/8j9C5pjXMA

2019 verpflichteten sich die Anrainer des Mittelmeeres, die illegale Vogelverfolgung bis 2030 zu halbieren. Die Zwischenbilanz @birdlifeeurope.bsky.social & @euronatur.bsky.social fünf Jahre vor dem Zieldatum fällt ernüchternd aus. Aber es gibt auch Fortschritte. www.riffreporter.de/de/umwelt/vo...
Vogelwilderei in Europa: Kampf gegen illegale Jagd droht zu scheitern
Ernüchternde Bilanz im Kampf gegen Vogelwilderei: Die meisten europäischen Länder verfehlen das selbstgesteckte Ziel zur Reduzierung illegaler Vogeljagd bis 2030.

Die Frühjahrsdürre scheint sich auszudehnen.
Das Europäische Wettermodell ECMWF prognostiziert für Juni bis August hohe Temperaturen und Trockenheit. Bei allen Unsicherheiten der Prognose: Wir müssen das Wasser in der Landschaft halten, Auen vergrößern,Moore vernässen und Wald klimastabiler machen.

Die Frühjahrsdürre ist inzwischen gravierend. Nachdem schon der Koalitionsvertrag den Umwelt- und Klimaschutz zur Nebensache degradiert hat, ist jetzt niemand in Sicht, der das Umwelt- und Klimaministerium mit Engagement übernehmen möchte. Es ist ein Trauerspiel.

„Fast überall zu trocken“: Deutschland erlebt die heftigste Frühjahrsdürre seit 1931
Der April gehört zu den 20 regenärmsten seit Beginn der Wetteraufzeichnungen im Jahr 1881. Insgesamt fielen seit Jahresbeginn nur rund 20 Prozent der sonst üblichen Niederschlagsmenge.

We need to think reconnection of former sidearms much bigger. This is an example from mid 1990s when the oxbow has been „opened“ again to the Danube, east of Vienna. The difference bw Danube and side-arm is 3m. It should be minimal.

Velika plaza in #Montenegro is one of the longest beaches at the Eastern Adriatic Coast in a moderate natural state. Now, plans are coming to the surface to transform this natural beach to a Disneyland. Also affected: #SalinaUlcinj @euronatur.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu

Ulcinj facing a fateful decision: sustainable development or complete privatization?
Ulcinj does not need a new Disneyland on the water, but a development strategy that will respect its authenticity, natural resources and cultural heritage.
