Biotope

It is widely believed that northern Greece is rich in water resources, but the reality is quite different. A steady decline in water levels has been recorded across all large and small lakes in the region. In fact, the lakes of Macedonia are at their lowest levels since 2013. This reduction in water reserves, as expected, increases the pressure on already strained ecosystems.

The Goulandris Natural History Museum and the Greek Biotope / Wetland Center are raising awareness about the need to protect important habitats with the exhibition "Greek Forests, Green Destinations" at Athens International Airport.
