The water flowed like the years
It isn’t hard to think back into the past with living fossils like the Australian Lungfish dating back to 380 million years in the fossil records, pretty much unchanged. These long-lived fish have survived so many events only to be classed as Endangered on the IUCN Redlist in 2020.
Water is the lifeblood of any ecosystem, binding together so many species. Moving nutrients, sediment, pollen and seeds from one area to the next keeping everything alive. Human progress can impact these delicate balances so easily. Building a dam or a weir changes the water flow and starves the land of the vital water it needs to continue.
