ELP launch: Polesia project

ELP launch: Polesia project

Viktar Fenchuk, Project Coordinator for APB-BirdLife Belarus, introduces the Polesia project at the Endangered Landscapes Programme launch in Cambridge, UK, in October 2018.

Stretching across Belarus and Ukraine, Polesia is a vast region that provides a home for many threatened species including bison, bears and wolves, as well as critical ecosystem services for local communities. This project will secure official protection of key forest and wetland habitats in this region and establish connectivity between fragmented areas to create one of Europe’s largest interconnected landscapes.
