This project combines scientific research and community engagement to support the long-term conservation of brown bears in the south-eastern Alps. By monitoring bear populations and promoting coexistence measures, it helps secure a future where people and wildlife can thrive together.
The mountain landscapes of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan are a vital refuge for snow leopards and other endangered wildlife, yet growing pressures such as poaching and habitat degradation threaten their survival. This project strengthens cross-border conservation by training protected area rangers, improving wildlife monitoring and protection, and fostering lasting cooperation to safeguard one of Central Asia's most important biodiversity hotspots.
The Katra River valley is one of Lithuania's most valuable wetland landscapes, yet decades of abandonment have left much of this unique habitat overgrown and degraded. This project will restore open wetlands and create new nesting opportunities for the endangered Great Grey Owl, helping to protect biodiversity and secure a future for some of the region's rarest wildlife.
Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, the VGP Foundation has supported local partners in strengthening environmental education and reconnecting children and communities with nature. Building on this long-term commitment, this project promotes coexistence between people and the Carpathians’ iconic large carnivores through innovative education, community engagement, and the creation of a permanent Green Classroom in Synevyr National Nature Park.
This international project brought together conservation experts from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Armenia to protect threatened raptor species through research, conservation actions, and knowledge exchange.
This project combines hands-on conservation of the Common Ringed Plover with community engagement, policy action, and public awareness efforts to protect the Vistula River, one of Europe’s last free-flowing rivers. By safeguarding nesting sites and mobilising local stakeholders, the initiative is building long-term support for stronger river conservation.
VIVA empowers children and young people through music, creating accessible and inspiring experiences that foster confidence, creativity, and connection. Through workshops, camps, concerts, and inclusive events, VIVA has already reached over 2,000 participants across Belgium.
This project uses high-resolution GPS tracking to uncover the migration routes, stopover sites, and wintering grounds of the Common Snipe, a widespread wetland bird experiencing significant population declines across Europe. The findings will help scientists better understand the combined impacts of climate change and human activities, supporting more effective conservation strategies across the species' annual cycle.
This project protects loggerhead sea turtles along Calabria's coastline by combining innovative canine nest detection with conservation monitoring and public awareness activities. In 2025, specially trained dogs helped identify seven previously unknown nests, demonstrating a promising new tool for safeguarding this vulnerable species.
