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.
