Lake Ohrid endemic species monitoring

North Macedonia, where this project is. The register records the country and no finer position — coastline and frontiers from Natural Earth, public domain.

Between three and five million years old, with over sixty species found nowhere else, and under pressure from sewage, water abstraction and shoreline building.

What it needs

Monitoring equipment and student stipends, and support for the enforcement of the wild trout ban that restaurants routinely ignore.
