Freshabit LIFE IP Healing the Kingdom of Water – Layman´s Report – Project activities and results 2016-2022

What do brown trout, people, and freshwater pearl mussels have in common? It is the need for clean water, a vital condition for all three. FRESHABIT LIFE IP was an extensive nature conservation project where we restored freshwater bodies such as lakes, rivers, and streams.

The objectives of the water restoration were to improve the habitat of water birds, freshwater pearl mussel, fish, and other aquatic and wetland organisms. In addition to these objectives, restorations promoted the recreational use of the areas and increased their attractiveness or nature and landscape conservation values, which makes this work beneficial for both people and nature.
