Why?

By restoring natural habitats for breeding, feeding and resting areas, we are supporting wildlife populations and increasing biodiversity and helping to prevent the sixth extinction wave.

How?

We work by following the latest research information in partnership with researchers and other experts. We closely monitor the effectiveness of our projects.

Wetland restoration starts with a unified will of the landowners and a careful survey of the area to be restored. Read more about wetland restoration on the Sotka wetlands page!
