#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 📷Daniel Rosengren/FZS

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/ 📷Daniel Rosengren / FZS

🌊 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. #stop_E40 📷Małgorzata Kaznowska-Filipek

🌍 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 📷The Vistula River, Marek Elas

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. ‼️Read our new post: savepolesia.org/siarzewo-bat... #stop_E40

🌊 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 📷Vistula, Marek Elas

🌊 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 📷Marek Elas

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. #Stop_E40 #FreeFlowingRivers 📷Vistula. Marek Elas

#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! #SavePolesia #BiodiversityDay 📷Daniel Rosengren/FZS

#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! #savePolesia #Stop_E40 #ClimateAction

#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! #SavePolesia #stop_E40 #migratorybirdday youtu.be/CEPC5lTBwCk @wildpolesia.bsky.social

💧 The #E40waterway would dry out rivers, worsen #climate change effects, and threaten clean water supplies for millions. We advocate for sustainable alternatives like #rail transport and nature-based tourism. Follow us for updates! #SavePolesia #stop_E40 📷Daniel Rosengren/FZS

🚨 The #E40waterway threatens to destroy Polesia’s pristine rivers and #wetlands, risking biodiversity loss, droughts, and potential radioactive contamination from Chernobyl. Follow us to learn how you can help protect Europe’s Amazon! #Stop_E40 #SavePolesia 📷Daniel Rosengren/FZS

🌿 Welcome to #SavePolesia! We’re protecting Europe’s largest wetland wilderness — a vital habitat for rare species like Greater spotted eagle, Aquatic warbler (the photo), & Lynx. Join us to stop the destructive #E40Waterway project and save this natural treasure! #stop_E40 📷Daniel Rosengren/FZS
