WETLANDS INTERNATIONAL

Wetlands are important to the well-being of people. They regulate the water cycle that provides water for domestic uses, farming, and industrial uses. Healthy wetlands reduce the risk of riverine and coastal flooding. Wetlands are habitats of biodiversity and support resident and migratory species. Wetlands, particularly coastal wetlands, provide coastal protection and support to coastal aquaculture and fisheries. Wetlands are key ecosystems in the nexus of climate, food, and nature... At Wetlands International, we have the expertise, experience, and knowledge needed to restore wetlands at scale, through landscape-level approaches... We have lost 35% of the world's wetlands in the last five decades - since 1970 - and we continue to lose them at a rate faster than we're losing forests. The loss and degradation of wetlands has a chain reaction, driving biodiversity loss, stressing food and water supplies, and exacerbating the impacts of floods, droughts and wildfires.
