We are fighting the two biggest crises of our time: climate change and species extinction. In ten countries, we are protecting lakes and wetlands as important carbon reservoirs and habitats through specific project measures. In this way, we contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n

85 percent of the world’s wetlands have already disappeared or are severely degraded – making lakes and wetlands one of the world’s most endangered ecosystems. This development not only threatens biodiversity in wetlands, but also has a negative impact on climate protection, as wetlands are important carbon reservoirs.<\/p>\n

With the Living Lakes Biodiversity and Climate Project, we are therefore committed to the global protection and restoration of lakes and wetlands. In ten countries, together with our twelve partner organizations, we are implementing water and biodiversity conservation measures in a total of 13 lakes and wetlands: from the development of sustainable fishing and agriculture in and around the lakes, to reforestation and the restoration of important ecosystem functions, to the establishment of management plans. To achieve this, we work together with authorities and the local population – from Sri Lanka to South Africa, from Peru to the Philippines.<\/p>\n
