Each year, the lake\u2019s waters shrink further due to evaporation, lack of rain and overuse of water for irrigation. With a surface area of around 260 square kilometres, more than twice the size of Paris, the ancient lake is home to more than 2,000 species of fish, birds, mammals and plants.<\/p>\n<p>It is most famous for its population of nesting Dalmatian pelicans, a globally threatened species. Nine of its 11 native fish species are found nowhere else in the world. All of this is at risk as the water level continues to sink, now sitting eight metres lower than in the late 1970s. To stop this natural disaster from progressing further, NGOs from the three countries that border the lake &#8211; Albania, Greece and North Macedonia &#8211; have joined hands.<\/p>\n<p>Hopes soared in the year 2000, when the three Balkan nations put aside their political differences, coming together to protect the delicate ecosystem they share. A political agreement was signed and the trans-boundary Prespa National Park was established. But since then, little progress has been made on the project.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/07\/16\/balkan-nations-create-committee-to-protect-shared-endangered-lake\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-564\/\">Europe\u2019s ancient Lake Prespa is on the brink of collapse.
