Abstract: The article focuses on the global crisis of freshwater biodiversity loss and presents the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) "Emergency Recovery Plan for Freshwater Biodiversity" (FW Emergency Recovery Plan) as a strategic framework to address this issue. It outlines six key actions for recovery: accelerating environmental flows, improving water quality, protecting and restoring critical habitats, managing exploitation of freshwater resources, preventing and controlling non-native species invasions, and safeguarding river connectivity. The article emphasizes the complexity of threats—including pollution, habitat loss, and climate change—and highlights the need for coordinated, multi-scale implementation involving diverse stakeholders, inclusive governance, and future-proofing strategies. Case studies and policy analyses within the special issue illustrate practical applications and challenges, underscoring that while scientific knowledge exists, the primary obstacle remains effective decision-making and action to reverse freshwater biodiversity decline.
