Slide Background
Watch the #Dambusters documentary
Follow the journey of Pao Fernández Garrido across five European countries to learn why barriers are being removed and who are the river heroes behind it.
Rivers have always provided fundamental and vital services for mankind and the environment. However, dams disrupt the natural functioning of rivers and can cause a wide-scale decline in fish and other river wildlife. For these reasons, it is necessary to remove these barriers to return rivers to their natural, free-flowing state.

A 150-year-old weir was removed in England! Jeremy Wade attended this historic moment and made a special video for you!
