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<p>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 &#8211; from Sri Lanka to South Africa, from Peru to the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
