Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 10 August 2021, shows Lake Velence in Hungary. Lake Velence is a freshwater lake rich in biodiversity, home to several priority species listed in the EU Nature Directives. It is also a Ramsar and a Natura 2000 site. Climate change is seriously threatening it and it is now facing an unprecedented ecological crisis. Multiple heatwaves and prolonged drought have caused the lake to lose nearly half of its water in the past two years. Several protected species are abandoning their habitats due to the new climatic conditions, causing dramatic ecosystem degradation. The data provided by Copernicus satellites and services make it possible to extract vital information on the state of implementation of European policies, including those related to the monitoring of water quality and the protection of critical biodiversity sites.
