Mediterranean

Three continents meet in the Mediterranean region, a spectacularly diverse region, and an area of unique cultural, historical and biological wealth. WWF works through four national organizations in Spain, France, Italy and Greece, the associate group DHKD in Turkey, a Mediterranean Programme Office in Rome, and a project office in Tunisia. WWF's main concerns are the Mediterranean forests, the scarce freshwater resources, and improving fisheries practices. Through its education and public awareness, WWF has started to promote its messages to 200 million people from Iraq to Morocco. The rich biodiversity of the Mediterraneanīs freshwater wetlands and coastal areas is protected through field projects, awareness campaigns and policy strategies to improve national legislation and the implementation of European Union directives, international and regional treaties and agreements.
