Investing in people and nature

Hydropower schemes are one of the biggest threats to the living river because they radically alter natural water flow. Unfortunately, they’re like zombies – just when you think you’ve seen the last of them, they come back from the dead!

If you want to accomplish something, you just need to start. I’d like to change how things are run in my country. Government lacks a clear vision – we don’t need to destroy nature to become rich. People need to understand nature supports jobs and a good quality of life.

We’re not here just to research but to put our knowledge to good use. Every day is different. It might be something strategic for the Mediterranean region or something local, like dealing local rice farmers whose vast paddies our flamingos love to invade!
