In a race against time to save the rarest fish in Europe, a team of environmentalists and experts are developing a sanctuary for the asprete, a rare species of fish also called the living fossil.

As old as the dinosaurs, it is only found in one river in Romania and it’s on the brink of extinction.

While the authorities thought there were only 15 fish left in the river, a team of experts found 57 specimens in just one day of exploration.
