Danube Day was a superb celebration of everything achieved in the 18 years
since the signing of the Danube River Protection Convention. Whether you
were one of the hundreds of thousands who participated; one of millions who
heard about it; or work for one of the 900 organisations involved, you helped
spread Danube solidarity through more than 350 individual events. Bridging
national and institutional boundaries, the 14-country festival demonstrates
that the region is strongest when it works together. It reminds us of the
value of rivers, renews our resolve to look after them and, with so many
events focused on enjoying rivers, helps us reclaim them!

Wetlands connect us all, upstream-downstream along the rivers. A recent
conference organised in the Danube River Basin brought together participants
from all over the world to find sustainable solutions to protect these
valuable ecosystems.

Through a partnership programme from The Nature Conservancy, river managers from around the world, together with scientists, corporations and public agencies, are collaborating to restore the health of the world’s mighty waterways.

Successful implementation of water
management strategies requires
close cooperation between experts
and organisations involved or interested
in river basin management
planning – in short among all stakeholders.
