WWF conservationists are starting work on studying the possibilities for restoring the river connectivity of one of the last preserved tributaries of the Danube, the Lom River. With a length of 93 km, it is among the few remaining larger rivers in Bulgaria with a relatively preserved morphology, providing habitats for species of high conservation value, as well as for a number of endangered species of mussels and crustaceans, said the press centre of the non-governmental organization. The activities are part of the Subscribe to Nature campaign and a few days before Earth Hour.
