Tamas Gruber was selected as a Recreating Freshwater Ecosystems Showcase for his leadership at WWF Hungary, MERLIN and his work on the Liberty Island Life Project, which revitalized and restored a 3 km. section of the island in the Danube River.

You can hear him describe the various aspects that contributed to the success of this Nature based solution to reactivate the natural flow, natural vegetation and remove invasive plants and reduce other pressures. 

Tamas makes it clear that while individuals can trigger and must lead important restorations, galvanizing partners and like-minded individuals, make fresh water restoration mega projects like this Prone to Success.
