The Living Lakes
Biodiversity & Climate Project
In the UN Decade of Habitat Restoration, fourteen members of the Living Lakes Network have embarked on an ambitious, 5-year project to accelerate and scale up the conservation of these ecosystems, an essential mission to protect the climate and stop biodiversity loss. The project members include grassroots and community-based NGOs, conservationists, scientists and institutional entities.
The project will work on 13 critical landscapes developing nature-based solutions and fostering training and capacity building alongside local partners.
FRONTRUNNER INItIATIVES

Working across the globe, the Living Lakes Biodiversity & Climate Project covers protection and restoration efforts in critical ecosystems such as high altitude lakes, mangroves and floodplains. These Frontrunner Initiatives will be shared at the regional, national and global level, to enhance the sustainable management of lakes and wetlands around the world.

Think Globally, Act Locally
Wetlands as a response to the twin crises of climate and biodiversity
LLBCP demonstrates that protecting wetlands is not only a local necessity but also a global solution contributing to the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. The project offers practical, large-scale solutions for conserving and restoring wetlands. Our goal is to share experiences and, together with our partners, promote transformative conservation for people and the planet.
