New campaign: Stop a disastrous dam on the Drava River

In this Passport alert:

New campaign: Stop a disastrous dam on the Drava River

The Novo Virje dam - an ecological disaster and against European Union law

While most of Europe's larger rivers have been drastically dammed and regulated during the last century, the lower stretches of the Drava and its main tributary, the Mura, still form a 380km long free-flowing river corridor between Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary.

This spectacular river and the life it supports is threatened with destruction if Croatia goes ahead with the Novo Virje hydropower dam.

All the best,
