Охридското Eзеро е екосистем стар милиони години. Да не дозволиме да го уништат за неколку децении. Неговото уништување е и твое уништување.

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay!

Traditional knowledge has long guided the sustainable use of wetlands. As the Convention on Wetlands marks 55 years, #WorldWetlandsDay2026 calls on us to protect wetlands and honour cultural heritage.

#OhridRegion showcases corruption in #Macedonia at its finest.
@UNESCO was informed a year ago before it all began, yet #WHC2024 not only failed to place it on the #WorldHeritage in Danger list but also backtracked on its previous decisions.

Water is dignity.

Water is health.

Water is life.

Yet, 2 billion people still lack access to safe water.

On #WorldWaterDay, we must step up efforts—investing in development, accelerating the SDGs, and ensuring clean water for all.

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Mountains and glaciers are vital to our water cycle, storing and releasing freshwater that fuels rivers, rainfall, and life itself.

On #WorldWaterDay, let’s protect these essential ecosystems to ensure water security for all.

💧 This op-ed by @MumbaMusondam, @henkovink and Johan Rockström highlights a critical truth: water is the foundation of economic security, yet it remains undervalued and mismanaged.

As climate change disrupts the hydrological cycle, we must embed water at the heart of global governance and economic planning. The cost of inaction is too high.

By conserving the world’s wetlands, we safeguard biodiversity, enhance climate resilience and secure critical ecosystem services that support human health, economic wellbeing and cultural heritage.

Because today and every day is #WorldWetlandsDay.

There are animals that look at you, and there are animals who look past your physical self and manage to probe the deep recesses of your frail human consciousness. This Dalmatian pelican is definitely the latter. There is something primal in the bird and myself that creates a cautious uncertainty coupled with a childlike curiosity. A shared state of being. This bird seems to ask, “Who are you?” But it isn’t interested in my human name. It seems to be a much deeper, “Who are you?” A question I often ask myself, but when this massive bird asks it feels otherworldly and I don’t know how to answer and then I realize there is no answer and the bird understands this too.

... tourism development along the edges of the lake and nutrient pollution are clouding its famously clear waters and altering its ecology ...

Охридското Езеро, старо 2 мил. г., езеро со најголем биоди-тет (според големината), преполно со риби, полжави, ракови... Но, развојот на туризмот долж езерото и загадувањето ги заматуваат бистрите води, ја менуваат неговата екологија

Ecosystems are vital for life on Earth, and restoring damaged ones is key to tackling climate change and halting biodiversity loss.

This Mother #EarthDay reminds humanity to protect and reconcile with nature. Let's conserve the wetlands!

The water within our wetlands is a valuable natural resource, sustaining both humanity and biodiversity through the multiple services they provide including capturing and storing rainwater and replenishing groundwater aquifers.
