Entire islands are being wiped out by companies illegally extracting gravel from the Someș River

A recent study highlights the negative impact of sand and gravel extraction from the riverbeds of the Someș River in Romania. The extraction process leads to ecological degradation, decreased biodiversity, and pollution of the river water. Illegal mining activities, disguised as riverbed regulation, are causing irreversible damage to the river ecosystem. Furthermore, the lack of proper monitoring and enforcement by authorities is allowing companies to exploit natural resources unlawfully, resulting in severe environmental consequences. Experts suggest legislative changes and stricter regulations to protect the river's ecosystem and biodiversity.
