Danube Diversity Video online

In their project, they portray different personalities along the Danube, to capture their unique view on the river and its associated concerns. In our case that’s clearly the protection of the sturgeon and its function as a symbol of impact humans had on water bodies. These include illegal fishing, pollution, river straightening and the disruption of migratory routes that have pushed the sturgeon to the brink of extinction. Our goal is to preserve the sterlet for future generations and restore a healthy population in the Danube.
For this, certain measures must be taken: we have to protect and preserve the species, restore their habitat, make spawning grounds accessible again and, unfortunately, also take fish captive in order to breed them. The juvenile fish can then be reintroduced, and ideally strengthen the population.
