This year, we launched a new project to establish the first biosphere reserve in Armenia, continued to work on the UNESCO World Heritage nomination of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and supported the establishment of effective management in the Georgian Three Alazani Rivers Biosphere Reserve. We organised an international summer school in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and with the new IKI One Health project, we are working with our partner organisations to improve and expand protected areas in Central Asia.

We were able to inspire numerous participants with our field days, educational training and artistic workshops. Something completely new began in spring when we founded the PaludiAlliance with 14 companies together with the Umweltstiftung Michael Otto and the University of Greifswald under the umbrella of the toMOORow initiative. We were particularly pleased that Dr. Franziska Tanneberger was awarded the Deutscher Umweltpreis 2024 in October.

One milestone achieved on our foundation areas was the start of the revitalisation of the Mannhagener Mire. In the Karrendorf meadows, damaged fords were cleared and replaced with new ones, tideways were improved and accessibility to hard-to-reach, silted areas was restored for cattle. In the Bollwintal, a natural sill was installed in the Schulzenfließ west of the Polsensee to stabilise the water level. This year's Succow & Knapp seminar took us from the north-east of Germany to the south-west.
