DGener of Garda, 15 sets. (askanews) – “Adopt Rivers and Lakes” was inaugurated in Desenzano del Garda, an initiative that combines concrete waste collection actions, scientific monitoring activities and awareness campaigns for the protection of freshwater ecosystems. We talked to Luigi Agresi, WWF Italia:
“The Adopt Rivers and Lakes project was born in the context of the initiatives it gives in WWF Italia carries on for the protection of internal waters. Internal waters whose good condition is essential not only because the protection of biodiversity is a value in itself but also for the ecosystem services that these environments provide to all of us, starting with the water obviously which is the most basic resource of all”.
Cleaning and monitoring with WWF Italia partnership – Lidl Italia
Thanks to the collaboration between WWF Italia and Lidl Italia, the goal is to protect a precious and fragile heritage like Italian lakes and rivers. Alessia Bonifazi, Corporate Affairs of Lidl Italia intervened: “We decided as Lidl Italia to strengthen this link with WWF and also at national level by choosing precisely to support the Adopt Rivers and Lakes project by WWF Italia through 50 cleaning stages that will concern rivers, lakes and marine seabed precisely because we are aware that it is resources of fundamental importance for the community and for some economic activities but too often there but too often there We forget to treat them with respect. “
In the months of September and October 2025 it will be taken on 50 sections of rivers and lakes, 8 seabed and 2 stretches of coast throughout the national territory. A commitment that is not limited only to cleaning, but which will also contribute to the collection of precious data on plastic pollution and other materials. Luigi Agresti concluded: “We will have these 60 stages throughout Italy, 60 stages that will therefore provide concrete interventions of cleaning, coasts, banks but also the seabed. Here today we have two diving that belong to this circuit of the WWF sub, Talata Sub and Tritone sub. With these interventions that are concrete we do not only a cleaning activity but also citizen science activities because we will then collect the We will aggregate to have a precise and detailed photograph of the type of pollution that afflicts rivers and lakes and then be able to make consequent actions of policies to try to have regulations and laws that limit the sources of pollution to the origin “.
With “Adopt Rivers and Lakes”, WWF and Lidl Italia aim to generate a concrete and lasting impact, restoring environmental, social and educational value to the whole community.
