Europe’s Last Wild River, ‘Vjosa’, is Now a National Park

"The Vjosa river flows from southern Greece through Albania to the Adriatic Sea. It has no dams or power stations along its 270km length hence its designation as a wild river. The Vjosa and its surroundings are rich in biodiversity, home to more than 1,100 species, including 13 animal species and 2 plant species assessed as globally threatened. The Albanian government declared the Vjosa a national park in March 2023. The new park covers 12,700 hectares, including the river itself, plus some of the surrounding land.
