Candlelight Vigil 'Krakow Mourns The Oder On The Vistula'
Activists are seen during a silent protest and candlelight vigil 'Krakow mourns the Oder on the Vistula' in response to the current environmental problems in Poland and the slow response of the Polish government to the crisis. During the summer of 2022, a mass mortality event involving fish, beavers, and other wildlife occurred in the Oder river. A very large die-offs then started again at the end of July 2022. Over 100 tonnes of dead fish were removed from the Polish and German section of the river, causing concern that the water was poisoned.
