Water habitats and their diverse flora and fauna are at the heart of the Water:Ways campaign that was launched in 2011 by Naturefriends International together with Naturefriends Austria and the Austrian Federal Forests. Over the next few years, the scope of the campaign is to be expanded within the Naturefriends associations. After the first thematic focus which was on mountainous ecosystems, the emphasis of the years 2012/2013 will be on streams, rivers & alluvial forests.
