H2020 PONDERFUL: the "Rhone genevois" NBS : multifunctionality at the pondscape scale

The"Bouvières" pond has been created for leisures activities such as walking and fishing.

15 large ponds (5000m2 to 30’000m2) as well as many medium and small sized ponds have been created between 1970 and 2018. Some ponds have been dug to rehabilitate and recreate natural habitats in brownfields and others to create recreational activities such as swimming and fishing. They depict the multiple roles a pondscape can play. 

The objective of the spatial delimitation of these pond uses is to promote simultaneously the protection of pond biodiversity and the delivering of numerous NCPs.


H2020 PONDERFUL: The “Fyn” NBS: A Pondscape for Biodiversity, and People

Pond: PAE5

This pondscape covers Ærø, Avernakø, and Birkholm islands, with over 60 ponds on mostly agricultural land. NBS aims to enhance biodiversity (e.g. amphibians, birds) and promote recreation (e.g. biking, hiking) while encouraging eco-friendly farming and buffer zones around ponds to reduce pollution.
