Practice
Wetlands restoration
Project
DRP Small Grants: 1.4 (Wetlands pilots – undertaken by WWF-DCP)
Beneficiary country: Danube Countries
Region:
Danube-Black Sea
Details
Description: 6 pilot demonstration sites operated to illustrate alternative approaches to land management and means to enhance wetlands nutrient retention capacities
Lessons learned: Problems with regards to land ownership should not be underestimated. Lack of water quality data and difficulties in designing monitoring programmes renders precise data for estimation rare
Comments: Across Danube Basin
Implementation start date:
2001-01-01
Implementation end date:
2007-12-31
