Overview
The ecological situation of freshwater ecosystems in the Southeastern Europe region is shaped by a variety of factors. In the last centuries, river basins have been altered through damming and waterway modification, affecting natural river flow and sediment transport. There is an urgent need to put more effort in protecting and restoring habitats to conserve species diversity and prevent further loss and reduce the impact of climate change effects on people.Why Attend?
This seminar offers a unique opportunity to engage with leading experts in the field of river restoration, gain insights into the latest research and strategies, and participate in discussions that could shape the future of freshwater ecosystems in the Danube River Basin.Seminar's Programme
