Albania: uprising against a project to divert water from a river. In 2023, the Albanian government and sportswear brand Patagonia created a national park in the south of the country around the Vjosa River and its tributaries.
But less than a year after its designation, work is underway to divert the waters of its main tributary. Valley residents, worried about their own water resources, are mobilizing to stop the project in the Shushica Valley.
