Saimaa Ringed Seal Meets Danube Beaver

An international collaboration exploring Europe's unique aquatic ecosystems and their endangered inhabitants

Our Mission

Twenty students from Kesämäki School in Lappeenranta, Finland, and twenty-one students from ERG Donaustadt in Vienna, Austria, have joined forces in an Erasmus+ project to study and protect endangered species in their local ecosystems.

Our schools are uniquely positioned near significant water bodies: Kesämäki School overlooks the pristine waters of Lake Saimaa, while ERG Donaustadt is situated along the majestic Danube River, near the Donau-Auen National Park.

Project Goals

Through this collaborative project, our students are:

  • Exploring the rich biodiversity of our local ecosystems
  • Documenting endangered species and their habitats
  • Understanding the challenges these species face
  • Developing strategies for their conservation
