Europe’s Amazon takes us through the vast network of wetland and channels in this 1.4 million acre delta. Close to 500 thousand acres of reed beds take root in these wetlands. The delta harbors the largest number of fish species anywhere in Europe and massive amounts of water birds of all kinds find their home here.

Beavers are making their return into the area and also white-tailed eagles show a remarkable comeback. And with plenty of food and shelter, the opportunistic golden jackal is thriving here.The area has unprecedented potential for wetland restoration and rewilding.
