Georgia's proposed hydropower dam threaten its endangered sturgeons
Al Jazeera, 29 Oct 2021
Five critically endangered sturgeon species in Georgia are under threat because of hydropower dams upstream.
Yet the government wants to build more - the $800m Namakhvani Hydropower Project which would build two dams across the Rioni River, which has been a breeding ground for the fish.
