Wild rivers in Europe are vanishing fast—but not on Besjana Guri and Olsi Nika’s watch. In this episode of Climate Curious, the Albanian conservation activists share how over a ten year period they overcame big business, government pressure, and plenty of red tape to protect the Vjosa River in The Balkans—one of the last truly wild rivers in Europe. Their win earned them the 2025 Goldman Environmental Prize, but they stress that the work doesn’t end here. Tune in to hear the story of their momentous climate win!
