What we do<\/h2>\n

We protect the world’s lakes and wetlands. By building green filter systems in Latin America and Jordan, we are ensuring clean drinking water and healthier water ecosystems. By taking concrete measures to avoid plastic waste in and around bodies of water, we are reducing water pollution. And through the global Living Lakes network that we coordinate, we create a worldwide exchange of knowledge and regularly set up new water protection projects.<\/p>\n
