Polesie National Park Peatbog Conservation to safeguard sustainable water management, Poland

Polesie National Park, home to Europe’s largest peatbog system, plays a vital role in regional water regulation. Climate change has lowered water levels, threatening the park’s biodiversity and ecosystem balance.

This showcase expands multifunctional retention ponds to enhance rainwater harvesting and maintain peatbog hydration. By assessing their performance as engineered NBS, the project aims to secure long-term ecological resilience and develop a replicable model for managing protected wetland areas across Poland and Europe.
