Fisherman Vancho Vasilevski&#8217;s boat frequently runs aground when he sails on the lake, which is home to more than 2,000 species of fish, birds, mammals and plants. &#8220;In the last two, three months the water has dropped 36 centimetres, and in recent days probably another two or three centimetres,&#8221; says Vasilevski, who is in his late 60s.<\/p>\n<p>The decline has continued over decades. The water at Lake Prespa, which is situated high in the mountains and is 5-million-years-old, is now more than 8 metres lower than the late 1970s. In a 2022 report, NASA said that satellite images showed the lake had lost 7 per cent of its surface area and half of its volume between 1984 and 2020.<\/p>\n<p>With a surface area of around 260 square kilometres, more than twice the size of Paris, more than two thirds of Lake Prespa belongs to North Macedonia and the rest to Greece and Albania. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has warned some wildlife species at the lake are at risk of extinction because of the destruction of their habitat through harmful farming practices, erosion, untreated waste and waste waters. Any drop in water level can affect Lake Ohrid, a much larger lake just 10 km from Prespa and which draws around one third of its water from Prespa.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/09\/14\/no-rain-no-winter-no-rivers-this-ancient-european-lake-is-receding-and-it-could-be-disastr\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-398\/\">\u2018No rain, no winter, no rivers\u2019: This ancient European lake is receding &#8211; and it could be disastrous<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,3299,11485],"class_list":["post-116866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-lake","tag-prespa"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116866\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
