I’m a migratory freshwater fish, and I’m trying to swim to my girlfriend, Sophie. We really want to make some babies before our species goes completely extinct. The problem is, there’s something (literally) getting in the way. Scroll down to help me out!
That’s nearly one obstacle every kilometre of river, which makes it impossible to swim to the spawning grounds where we make love and the nursery grounds where we lay our eggs.
These obstacles aren’t just killing the mood, they’re contributing to our mass extinction.
NGOs are calling on Ministers and MEPs to support strong targets in the Nature Restoration Law, which would include reconnecting our rivers, and reconnecting young lovers like us.
If we want to save them and their species, we need your help to break down the biggest barrier of all: getting the EU’s attention. The European Parliament and the Council of Ministers will soon decide on the EU Nature Restoration Law. We urge Ministers and MEPs to back a game-changing law for nature, including an ambitious target to restore free-flowing rivers. Reach out to your local MEPs and national ministers and get them to support a strong EU nature restoration law!
