Through 30 years working on river conservation and restoration he has been directly involved in projects, including establishing the Danube National Park, campaigning against the Ilisu dam in Turkey, and producing a documentary on the negative impacts of climate change policies on nature. Since founding Riverwatch in 2012, Ulrich has focused his efforts on protecting the Balkan Peninsula’s rivers. He is the driving force behind the ‘Save the Blue Heart of Europe’ campaign, which aims to preserve the best and most diverse rivers on the continent in the face of over 3,500 hydropower projects. The campaign has stopped or halted hundreds of dam projects, and helped to create one of the strongest nature protection movements in Europe. Stay up to date with his latest work on Twitter.
