The Carpathians are Europe’s largest mountain range, a reservoir of biodiversity and a water tower of the region. Its waters flow to Black and Baltic See via four large river catchments, the Danube among them. The Carpathians and the Danube harbour a rich and important variety of wetland ecosystem types. Their conservation is often in conflict with other human interests. Therefore the awareness and attitude of people living in their neighbourhood is crucial for their maintenance.
