Against the backdrop of climate change, maintaining the quality and quantity of water for humans and wildlife is becoming increasingly difficult due to various factors. These factors include watershed fragmentation, pollution, the proliferation of invasive species, and water rights conflicts. To address these challenges, water funds and other institutions dedicated to water conservation and restoration are striving to explore methods to protect areas and natural processes that provide freshwater supply, flood control, wildlife habitat, and other water security functions. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the key projects led by the experts across North America, South America, Europe, and Australia.
