Leeway Collective is the confluence of sport, river conservation, film production, fly fishing outfitting and common sense that uses unconventional means to promote and protect the last remaining wild places of Europe. We tell stories that inspire critical thinking and action.
On paper, we are Leeway Collective, Institute for Promotion and Protection of Aquatic Ecosystems, a registered Slovenian NGO responsible for the Balkan River Defence movement, Balkan Rivers Tour projects and award winning documentaries and short films, including The Undamaged.
In person, we are…humans who are boundlessly curious about the natural world in which we play. Our respect for wild places motivates us to share and protect them.
Evolution of Leeway Collective
Leeway Collective has evolved over time. From our organic start as crazy, semi-nomadic professional whitewater kayakers in 2014, to becoming an internationally recognized river conservation NGO. We are responsible for the biggest river conservation movement in Europe and are recently focusing our efforts on the power of film production to protect rivers and the delicate ecosystems and beings that depend on them – including humans.
