Remember, if Trump is elected he will sigh an executive and halt all environmental restoration projects in the United States.

Big Oil CEO or activist - who said it? "we were able to negotiate the removal of hydropower dams. which is amazing"

Palm oil is a destructive monoculture crop that has been proven to cause massive problems for people, animals and planet. These include: greenhouse gas emissions, pollution-run off into rivers, soil erosion, the killing and capture of already endangered species of wildlife, land-grabbing from indigenous peoples, child slavery, debt peonage for already impoverished farmers, state and police sanctioned violence against local people. Palm oil in 50% of all consumer goods also has a dire impact on human health. Its consumption has been linked to high rates of mortality from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and cancer, across large populations. These human health, environmental and biodiversity impacts have been revealed in dozens of reports from the World Health Organisation among many others over the past two decades. Despite the RSPO being tauted in the previous comment as being a solution. There is zero differentiation between so-called “sustainable” palm oil and the palm oil that is not certified by the RSPO. Over 20 years there has been NOT ONE supply chain member of the RSPO that has ceased deforestation or human rights abuses for palm oil. Claiming “sustainable” versus unsustainable is a very cheap and dirty way to greenwash and deceive consumers, with no basis in reality. There are now alternatives to palm oil that are made from algae, yeast, carbon dioxide, microbes that are made in a lab and do not require any deforestation at all. Further information about all of the above is available on my website. Palmoildetectives dot com.

I Live on the Klamath River. Its a sewer now. I won't set foot In that toxic water ever again. Unless we have a Major Flood it Will always have the toxic Sediment in it.😢😢

The Klamath River will never recover they turn it into a sewer. They killed everything living thing it. What happened to Saving the Planet. They just killed millions of Fish. All that toxic Sediment went right into Ocean. I dont think its going to recover the way they think. I hope im wrong 😢

hi where can i get rattan seeds i am interested to grow it

Lidl Produkte

Lets support!!

nice

Pitiful that you have intrusive horrible music in this video! Did an adult review this video prior to release?

This is such great news. 1st time I saw this in Europe on RUclips

Así estaremos apoyando desde cualquier parte del mundo, 🌎❤️

Thank you WWF!🐬

The funny thing about this is that there are areas where you need a dam, and there are areas that do not need a dam. I think the issue is where, and when. Not "if". Interesting topic for sure.

Quit poncing around ALL DAMS need to be removed as does all Canalisation of rivers rivers need to be allowed to go as they please

Who’s we? I understood him perfectly.

Europe is not a continent and the subtitles go too fast unleas you a weeb or smth

When they say it provides more access to recreation they are lying I'm a survivor of a monument designation they said tourists would flood into the area, bullshit

Pretty sure the yangtze river dolphin is already extinct. Last seen in 2002. The yangtze river is extremely polluted.

You don't need a brain to blow up the dam.

Several dams have been removed and two others have been altered to increase flow and allow fish migration. This has had a direct and positive effect on mine and others quality of life because our roads no longer flood, thanks to the increase in the river's flow rate. Of course now it is much lower than it was 10 years ago when the first project started. This also allows the water to warm more so the fish species found in the river is starting to change.

❤️

Another species close to extinction thanks to worthless humans.

Dams were built by humans to serve the needs of humans. They are the symptoms, not the disease.

What nonsense. If you build hydropower right, you can increase spawning areas and the amount of fish a river can support. There are dams and river systems that destroy, often by straightening rivers and build dams, that act as barriers. But by building dams, with working fish stairs and slowing down rivers, you can produce an environment that increases the suitability of a river, for example for salmon. We need hydropower for green energy production and the idea that dams are always bad, is ridiculous. We use hydropower here in Iceland. There is not one example of a river, where the hydropower construction has reduced the amount of fish the river produces. Many rivers had natural limits, that stopped fish from going further upriver. The right constructed dams, with well constructed fish stairs, opened up new spawning areas. This propaganda, that all dams are bad, is just wrong and destroys possibilities of sensible use of hydropower, what we desperately need

Next step? Make beavers a protected species.

Fantastic! Great effort, Floods for everyone.

Yeah ! Blow those dams up! It's so much better to burn oil for your power!

Blow up your dams. You are not dependant on Russian gas for electricity. You will regret it. Only time will tell. You are playing into the hands of the liberals who will control you.

Now you guys should have a go at these buggers! Quote from FP Magazine article titled Science Shows Chinese Dams Are Devastating the Mekong New data demonstrates a devastating effect on downstream water supplies that feed millions of people - China has been accused by the South East Asian countries that a series of dams on the Mekong River had worsened water scarcities in downstream countries. It has altered the flow of the water and impacted fisheries, agriculture, and biodiversity in the downstream riparian countries. Eleven massive dams straddle the mighty Mekong River before it leaves China and flows into Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and on into Vietnam. China considers water management data to be a state secret, and, barring new evidence, it has always been difficult to reach defensible conclusions about China’s management water levels in the Mekong River. That is, until this month, when remarkable new data became public. It shines a dramatic light on how much water China’s upstream dams have blocked-even as downstream countries suffered through unprecedented drought. Every year, the Mekong River rises and falls in cycle with the rainy season, when a massive pulse of water driven by monsoon rains and Himalayan snow melt flows downstream. Yet along the Thai-Lao border between June and November of last year the mainstream of the Mekong ran dry, the river bed and shoals were exposed, and isolated pools of flopping fish were unable to reach their spawning grounds. That July, as the mainstream’s level fell so far that irrigation pumps could not reach it, the Thai government mobilized its army to conduct relief efforts. In the fall, Tonle Sap Lake will typically fill with monsoon waters rushing in from the mainstream for five months, providing Cambodians with up to 70 percent of their protein. Last year, the expansion of the lake, often described as the Mekong’s heartbeat, lasted just five weeks, and reports suggest it produced a fraction of the normal 500,000 tons of food. Observers, myself included, initially concluded that the abysmally low levels in the mainstream were due to low precipitation in the broad Mekong Basin. An El Niño weather pattern still today leaves most of the region suffering from its worst drought on record. In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, millions of people are currently without access to freshwater. But a new study from the U.S-.based climate consultant Eyes on Earth provides us with a different reason: For six months in 2019, China’s dams blocked an unprecedented amount of water from entering the lower Mekong. The amount of water withheld was so large that, for the first time since modern records have been kept, there was no monsoon-driven rise in water levels just over the Chinese border in Chiang Saen, Thailand. Eyes on Earth’s new data also shows that while an extreme drought persisted downstream, China’s section of the river, home to many of its massive dams, was wetter than usual. Eyes on Earth’s data shows the upper reaches of the Mekong Basin received above-normal amounts of water-nearly all of which was held back. My team corroborated that evidence with remote sensing data from Google Earth Engine. If China’s dams were not there to alter flow between the upstream and the downstream, then there would have been enough water in the mainstream to keep it at or above normal levels for most of the Thai-Lao border area. In addition to the major finding that during the 2019 monsoon, China’s dams totally prevented the Mekong mainstream from filling itself along the Thai-Lao border, the study also reveals that China has been restricting more and more water over time-particularly during the monsoon seasons-since its behemoth Nuozhadu Dam went online in stages between 2012 and 2014. Additionally, the study’s evidence explains the extreme floods that happen out of nowhere along the Thai-Lao border during the dry season, sometimes causing the river level to jump several meters overnight and delivering millions of dollars in damages to local riverside communities. (My research team took a deep dive into these other findings here.)

Amazing to see! I wish countries like China and India would follow

i see the sea.

Is this newsletter with a link to a pathetic little video the best WWF can do about deep sea mining?? Your supporters and monthly donors need to know: 1) what concrete actions does WWF undertake to prevent or mitigate the damage to the ocean floor & marine life, 2) what concrete actions can WWF supporters undertake to pressure our governments about the need to strongly oppose any such mining. Asking your supporters to just share a patsy little video on social media is an insult to their intelligence!

They could have chosen someone that speaks perfect English instead... We can hardly understand what he’s saying.

Yes! Think deeply!!

What an important video. I have to share it. Thank you. We are all connected indeed.

Vested interest will stop at nothing to increase profits, we are in a bad place.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤❤❤

think deeply

Nature invented the Beaver because of the Natural goodness their dams produce. Their ponds don't stop the water, only slow it down and make it a steady supply. No more feast ( flood ) and famine ( drought ). Man thinks he knows better than Nature . . . ☆

Destroying a lot of dams will let more water flow into the oceans which will contribute to the flooding of more coastal areas that aren't very high above sea level. I thought climate change was already a threat to low lying costal areas and islands. And what about water necessary to support agriculture and human population? I thought California had a serious shortage of water and they're letting what water they currently get through snow melt to just flow unimpeded into the ocean.

There’s no such thing as sustainable palm oil, it’s a lie pushed by the corrupt RSPO, complicit in the destruction of precious rainforests & ecosystems, loss of wildlife & human rights abuses!

Fantastic! Great effort and yet so much more to do! I look forward to watching the film.

I like the information in here about the costs of dam removal and how they are now spending 4 or 5 % of what they used too, by just letting the river function.

It is so exciting to see this trend has been happening in Europe also. I was blessed to be a part of a barrier removal (not a dam) on the Eel River in California. I have seen first hand the positive affects of this act. Right now the removal of four dams on the Klamath River in Oregon and California will be the largest dam removal ever in the USA. This helps to give me hope for the future. Thank you for this film.
