Destiny of a greek lake

At the North of Greece, the lake Kerkini is a miracle of nature, all year round. Kerkini is a reference for mediterranean wetlands biodiversity.

In spring thousands pairs of birds breed here. During summer, automn and winter, there are several hundreds of thousands birds staying here, most of them in migration stops. Two scientists explain the threats that could upset the spot and show how the economic difficulties could make the wildlife collapse.
