Restore NAW

The Restore NAW project is part of a broader effort to safeguard critically endangered aquatic ecosystems. Its ambition is to enhance the management and conservation of freshwater species while promoting sustainable agricultural practices that improve irrigation efficiency. Through its demonstration sites in the Sebou Basin in Morocco and the Ghar El Melh wetlands in Tunisia, the project also serves as a platform for learning and sharing innovative approaches to biodiversity management and conservation.

Beyond ecological preservation, the project places strong emphasis on governance and partnerships. Its “Governance and Stakeholder Networking” component, implemented by the OSS, fosters closer collaboration and stronger regional networking among civil society, public institutions, and private sector actors. This collective dynamic enables the development and scaling-up of nature-based solutions, while strengthening community resilience to the impacts of climate change.
