🌊 Today's #DamRemovalDay reminds us why free-flowing rivers matter! While Dam Removal Europe celebrates barrier removal across Europe, Polesia faces the opposite threat - E40's new dams would destroy Europe's Amazon. Join their streaming now!

7 years of appeals & waiting
The fight over the ecologically risky Siarzewo barrage (part of #E40waterway) continues. Yesterday's hearing ended without a ruling; a new date is pending.
The Vistula is safe for now as appeal continues. We await the next chapter.

🌍 The #NatureRestorationLaw’s emphasis on restoring free-flowing rivers is at odds with plans for the Siarzewo dam and the #E40Waterway. Poland should prioritize undoing the damage from the Włocławek dam, not adding more barriers. #Stop_E40

140K+ said no — but the fight isn’t over. Despite public opposition, Polish Waters refuses to back down. The Siarzewo dam appeal could greenlight irreversible harm to the Vistula’s salmon, terns & floodplains.

🌊 The #E40Waterway with its Włocławek and proposed Siarzewo dams threatens to fragment the Vistula river further.

The #NatureRestorationLaw offers a chance to protect and restore these waters instead of compounding the damage. #Stop_E40 #FreeFlowingRivers

🌊 The #NatureRestorationLaw’s goal of restoring 25,000 km of rivers to a free-flowing state by 2030 is at odds with projects like the Siarzewo dam in 🇵🇱. Let’s focus on restoration, not more barriers that harm rivers and ecosystems. #Stop_E40 #FreeFlowingRivers

One year ago, the EU adopted the #NatureRestorationLaw—a historic chance to heal rivers. Yet Poland’s Siarzewo dam, part of the #E40Waterway, push the opposite direction. Restoring nature starts with stopping new barriers.

#Polesia, Europe’s Amazon, hosts over 1.5 million migratory 🐤 & endangered species like European bison, wolves, and lynx. The E40 waterway threatens to destroy 193 international and 139 national protected areas😱. Protect biodiversity — #stop_E40!

#Climate change is accelerating, and Polesia’s intact #wetlands are part of the solution.

Destroying them for a shipping canal would risk releasing stored carbon and contaminating water for millions.

Let’s protect what protects us!

#Polesia is home to millions of migratory birds 🐤 and unique ecosystems. The proposed 2000-km long E40 canal would devastate these habitats and local communities. Stand with us to defend nature!
