What we do
Wetlands International is a global organisation that works to sustain and restore wetlands and their resources for people and biodiversity.

Tackling problems
We work in over 100 countries and at several, very different scales to tackle the most pressing problems affecting wetlands. With the support of dozens of governmental, NGO and corporate donors and partners, we support over 100 projects.

Our work ranges from research and community-based field projects to advocacy and engagement with governments, corporate and international policy fora and conventions. Wetlands International works through partnerships and is supported by contributions from an extensive specialist expert network and tens of thousands of volunteers.

Scientific expertise
Wetlands International works in many thematic areas throughout the world, but is the leading scientific expert on peatlands & climate change, as well as wetlands & waterbird migration, based on extensive research as well as field projects.
