It’s not just a pond – Let’s prevent the disappearance of wetlands

The goal of the campaign “It’s not just a pond” („Ovo nije samo bara“) is to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving  wetlands, while being implemented within the “EU for Green Agenda in Serbia” initiative. The campaign will inform the public about the numerous benefits of wetlands for people and the environment, and invite managers of protected areas, local governments, companies, as well as scientific research institutions and civil society organizations to propose and implement concrete measures for protection of these precious ecosystems.

As part of this campaign, UNDP has invited managers of protected areas, local governments, public and private companies, scientific research institutions, as well as non-governmental organizations to submit innovative proposals for the conservation of wetlands using nature-based solutions. The authors of the best ideas for preserving wetlands will receive professional support for the development of the projects in the following period, whereas the best designed projects will receive co-financing in order to come to life through practice.
