Hydromorphological Status and Dam Projects

Executive Summary
Among the biggest current threats to the natural heritage of the Balkan region is a wave of planned hydropower stations. Hydropower dams have a significant impact on the river ecosystem and the longitudinal continuum for living organisms and sediments. They can also negatively impact wild terrestrial animals including large carnivores living in mountain fringes within the Dinaric Arc. This leads to a loss of ecological integrity, river degradation, and consequently a decrease in biodiversity. The study aims at providing a reliable information base to exclude ecologically valuable river stretches from harmful developments. In particular, it wants to support the identification of such “no-go areas” as demanded by European Water Directors and serve as a first step towards a “masterplan” as in preparation e.g. for Austria and Slovenia.

A legal guide for communities seeking environmental justice
Abstract
The endless increase of environmental injustice in the world is directly impacting more and more people on a daily basis. While impunity seems to be the order of the day, the need for procedural justice is growing. Making the most of the competences and knowledge brought together under the EJOLT project and its work on Law and Institutions the CDCA has compiled a manual that presents a number of legal tools and concepts already used by EJOs all over the world. These concepts and tools from the civil
and criminal system at international, regional and trans-national levels are presented together with interactive links to more details and technical information and to useful contacts for legal strategy capacity building of EJOs.
