The United Nations proclaimed the period from 2005 to 2015 the International Decade for Action, "Water for Life", to draw attention to the importance of water for the preservation of biodiversity and human well-being. With our environmental campaign Water:Trails, Naturefriends have joined these efforts by developing a special focus on water-related topics.
