We are glad to invite you to take part in the international online conference of the project "Nature-based solutions in open wetlands restoration for biodiversity, water quality improvement and climate mitigation" on 12th June 2025. This project is supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) and conducted by partnership of Finnish NGO Snowchange Cooperative, Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group (UNCG) and Polish Society for the Protection of Birds (OTOP).

This conference gathers experts to discuss peatland and wetland restoration across Europe. Topics include Finland’s peatland restoration, subsidies’ impact on land use, spatial planning challenges, and spontaneous wetland recovery. It also covers economic incentives for farmers, wetlands' roles in biodiversity, climate resilience, and national defence, with a special focus on Ukraine’s wetlands in reconstruction.
