Saving Europe’s endangered eels #RAZOR
Razor • 20m
The once-common European Eel is critically endangered. Over the past 40 years, the number of juvenile eels in European rivers has fallen by over 90%, largely due to more than million weirs and dams that block their migratory paths.

RAZOR’s Emma Keeling travels to Gloucester, England to meet the people on the frontline in the battle to save the species.
