Wetlands International

Safeguarding and restoring wetlands for people and nature

Wetlands International is a global not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation and restoration of wetlands. Wetlands are the source of water that supports all forms of life. Despite our efforts to promote their importance, loss and damage to wetlands and their biodiversity continues. Wetlands International’s vision is a world where wetlands are treasured and nurtured for their beauty, the life they support and the resources they provide.
