Labanoras Regional Park: A Freshwater Network for World Water Day
22 March is World Water Day, dedicated to celebrating the importance of freshwater and raising awareness about the global water crisis.
This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image, acquired on 9 March 2025, highlights the extensive freshwater network of Labanoras Regional Park in Lithuania. The park is characterised by numerous lakes, rivers, and wetlands, which play a crucial role in sustaining biodiversity, regulating local climate, and providing essential water resources.
In this false-colour visualisation, healthy vegetation appears in red, while freshwater bodies stand out in deep black and blue.
Copernicus data supports monitoring water resources, assessing environmental changes, and informing conservation efforts, which ensure the long-term protection of freshwater ecosystems in the face of climate change and human impact.
