But we remain vigilant. The Vistula is safe for now, and we will continue fighting to protect Poland's queen of rivers. 🌊💙 #SaveTheVistula #SavePolesia #Siarzewo #stop_E40
Is it 100% over? Not yet. Polish Waters can still file an appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court. This legal process could drag on for years...
Since 2017, the fight to save Poland's wild river has been a gruelling legal marathon. On 19 June the Vistula finally caught a break.👇 📷The Vistula River by Marek Elas
📉 Migratory freshwater fish: -81% since 1970 (UN assessment). 🌍 97% of assessed species face extinction globally. 🇵🇱 Włocławek already fragments the Vistula. E40 would add more dams – sealing the fate of Salmon, Lamprey & Eel. #MigratoryFishDay #Stop_E40 📷Vistula, Marek Elas
The European Pond #Turtle thrives in calm #wetlands: marshes, ponds, slow-moving rivers. This species is disappearing across Europe due to wetland drainage & habitat loss. The E40 would devastate #Polesia's turtle habitats. Protect them! ✊ #WorldTurtleDay 📷Daniel Rosengren/ FZS
🌿#BiodiversityDay fact: Healthy biodiversity needs connected landscapes. Polesia's rivers, wetlands & forests form a living network for migrating birds, spawning fish & roaming mammals like Lynx & Wolf. The #E40Waterway would sever this network. 📚 👉savepolesia.org
🔍 Spotlight: Chornobyl Reserve – Emerald site with Natura 2000-level biodiversity: 🐺 Bears, lynx, wolves, otters 🦅 245 bird species incl. White-tailed Eagle, Black Stork 🌳 1,200+ plants, 19 habitats E40 dredging risks remobilising radioactive sediments. 🚫 #Natura2000Day
🌿 Today Emerald, tomorrow #Natura2000 Ukraine's Emerald sites meet the same scientific criteria as Natura 2000. Yet the planned #E40Waterway directly threatens 17 of these sites + 2 indirectly (13,046 km² total). 1/2 👇 📷Sunset in Polesia, Daniel Rosengren / FZS
📉 Up to 50% population decline predicted for #birds in Lower Wieprz, #Natura2000 site in 🇵🇱. If the #E40waterway proceeds, species like Common Shelduck, Goosander & terns face severe losses. #EU-protected nature shouldn't be negotiable. ✊ 📷Wieprz river by Marek Elas
Natura 2000 site under threat: Middle Vistula Valley This 260km protected river stretch is 🇵🇱's KEY breeding ground for Mew Gull, Little Tern &Common Ringed Plover The proposed #E40Waterway would straighten, dam &destroy its natural braided habitat. 📷Little Tern, Siarhei Zuyonak
⚖️ Protected under EU law, threatened by a megaproject: Włocławska Valley (Natura 2000). Key refuge for Spine Loach, European Bitterling, Atlantic Salmon & River Lamprey. The E40 waterway would dam this stretch – blocking fish migration forever. #Natura2000Day #Stop_E40
#DayOfActionForRivers: World revives rivers by removing old dams, adding logs for 🐟shelter, planting living roots on eroding banks, creating tree buffers, & fixing road culverts. #E40Waterway threatens to destroy Polesia instead. 19th-century thinking vs 21st-century solutions.
In #Polesia, people have harvested medicinal plants for generations🌱 These wetlands = livelihoods, tradition, sustainable harvests. #E40Waterway would severely degrade this ecosystems. This #WorldWildlifeDay, we're fighting for nature AND people. #WWD2026 #SavePolesia #stop_E40
Today is #WorldWetlandsDay 🌿 On 2 February 1971, countries agreed the #Ramsar Convention to protect wetlands. In #Polesia & along the Vistula, Bug, Pripyat and Dnieper rivers, many Ramsar & other protected wetlands at risk from #E40Waterway: savepolesia.org/the-threat/ 📷D.Rosengren
🌊 Today's #DamRemovalDay reminds us why free-flowing rivers matter! While @DamRemovalEU celebrates barrier removal across Europe, Polesia faces the opposite threat - E40's new dams would destroy Europe's Amazon. Join their streaming now! youtube.com/c/DamRemovalEu…
@numenini @WWFLeadWater @SaveTheColorado ✅ The good thing: no construction can begin during this appeal. The Vistula is safe for now. ❌ The risk: if the appeal is successful, the threat returns. We continue to monitor and advocate for the protection of the Vistula. #stop_E40 Photo: Małgorzata Kaznowska-Filipek, 2023
⚖️ A hearing was held yesterday on the investor's appeal against the negative environmental decision (a huge win from Dec'24 after a 7-year NGO fight!). The court did not issue a ruling, there will be another hearing. Photo: Vistula River, Marek Elas
🧵 The Siarzewo barrage is a threat to the #Vistula River, a key part of a planned 2,000 km #E40waterway posing serious ecological risks. Here's the latest from the court:
