Rivers in the US and around the world are on life support, but this new national park is changing that. On March 15, 2023, Albania turned its Vjosa River into a national park, making it the first full-blown wild river park in the world.⁠ ⁠ The mighty Vjosa, which meanders from Greece through southern Albania en route to the Adriatic, is one of the continent’s last remaining rivers that is truly wild. Today, no industrial plants or dams will ever take shape along the Vjosa and its 31,500 acres worth of waterways, islands, canyons, valleys, and beachfront.
