In April, we joined a group of volunteers on a small island in the Drava River, Slovenia — and built a sand wall by hand. Why? Because Sand Martins, a small migratory bird, had lost their natural nesting sites. Dams and hydropower reduced the river’s flow so much, sandbanks stopped forming naturally.

So we decided to act.

In this video, we return two months later to see if our effort worked — and what we found left us speechless.
