Ecosystem Services of Karst Protected Areas

To find the right balance between conservation, protection and improvement of ecosystems as well as their sustainable use, this is the most important and major challenge in the Danube Region. The target aim of the project is to contribute to the protection and sustainable development of karst bio-regions in the Danube basin based on their valued ecosystem services.

Projects in Africa

Drinking Water Project in the Community of Gumbi, South Africa

The self-sufficient supply of groundwater is ensured by drilling and installing pumps in three villages in the community, north of the Somkhanda Game Reserve. On the one hand, this reduces the previous effort required to fetch water, and on the other hand, the reserve's water sources are significantly relieved.

Drinking Water for Africa

More than 800 million people still live without access to clean drinking water – most of them in African countries. Many people – most of them children – suffer of poor water quality and die as a result of diarrhea and cholera. The project focuses on this and helps to provide them with clean drinking water.

Living Lakes Network

Living Lakes Webinars

In regular intervals, the Living Lakes members exchange via webinars on specific topics. Even more people, interested in the issues, can sign up for this and participate. The webinars will be held in English.

Living Lakes Network

The main purpose of this international initiative is the conservation and protection of the earth's drinking water reservoirs. About 1.4 billion people already suffer from bad water quality. The network strives for effective protection of water in the most important lake areas around the world.
