Biodiversity & Climate Project
A global effort to protect and restore the source of all life.
The Living Lakes Biodiversity & Climate Project is an ambitious global effort to catalyze the conservation of lakes and wetlands, as a climate solution that works both for people and biodiversity.
We advance together with governments, NGOs, local communities, indigenous peoples and scientists, both on a local and a global scale.
