Last year, the spotlight was on water-related issues, with a total of eleven million euros being allocated to ventures like the rewetting of peatlands or the enhancement of ponds.

One captivating initiative is centered around improving the habitat for the river mussel. This fascinating creature serves as a natural filter and water purifier.
