Aspretele, peștele care trăiește doar în România, amenințat de poluarea râului Vâlsan. 114 exemplare găsite pe 450 de metri
The Aspretele fish, an ancient species found only in the Vâlsan River, is being monitored by biologists who discovered 150 specimens. Local authorities received funding to repair a nearby wastewater treatment plant, which is polluting the river. Activists and locals are working to protect both the fish and its habitat, while awaiting a response on a funding project submitted to Brussels.
