In diesem Interview erzählt Carl Sayer aus Norfolk (England) von dem Erfolg und damit Potential verlandeter bzw. verschütteter Teiche, sogenannter 'Ghost Ponds', für die ökologische Restaurierung.

The #EPCN is delighted to announce the the renewal and update of our official website (www.europeanponds.org), featuring the newly appointed committee and refreshed content.
We aim to enhance our presence here, sharing news, opportunities, and highlights from our network in the coming months.

For the first time, we have compared European #kettleholes with prairie potholes (North America) in terms of their #ecohydrology in a review.

A special thanks go to Majid Taie Semiromi. 🙏🏼
