Conserving Alpine Waters
The Alps are the freshwater reservoir of Europe. Cities near and far rely on Alpine water for their drinking needs and hydroelectricity supply. But human pressures and global warming have put freshwater in the Alps at risk.
What We Do
The WWF European Alpine Programme has made freshwater a priority for conservation in the Alps. From lobbying for the preservation of the Tagliamento – one of the last pristine rivers in the Alps – to restoring some of the most ecologically important alpine rivers, WWF is helping to return freshwater back to its natural state.
Our Vision
In the long term, through WWF's work, the situation of Alpine river basins has improved: habitats are protected, restored, and connected.
