We safeguard and restore wetlands for people and nature.
Over ons
We are dedicated to the conservation and restoration of wetlands. Our vision is a world where wetlands are treasured and nurtured for their beauty, the life they support, and the resources they provide. Based mostly in the developing world, we have 20 regional, national or project offices in all continents and a head office in the Netherlands. 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.

Did you know that 80% of mangrove planting projects fail? 🌱 While mangrove planting is hugely popular, most planting efforts fail to restore functional mangrove forests effectively. Successful restoration relies on creating the right conditions for mangroves to regenerate naturally. Here are certain aspects to be mindful of. When carried out properly, mangrove restoration can enhance coastal safety, support millions of #livelihoods, limit #biodiversity loss, and aid in stronger climate mitigation. 🌎 #WeNeedWetlands #MangroveRestoration #naturebasedsolutions #WorldMangroveDay #ClimateAction #BiodiversityLoss #GenerationRestoration #ForNature 👉 The Global Mangrove Alliance has created the ‘Best Practice Guidelines for Mangrove Restoration’.

Did you know that 80% of mangrove planting projects fail? 🌱 Successful restoration relies on creating the right conditions for mangroves to regenerate naturally. 👉 Here are a few reasons why mass-planting mangroves can often fail: https://lnkd.in/gSUF9y3N Wetlands International has therefore adopted a more effective approach called Community-Based Ecological Mangrove Restoration (CBEMR) in its projects together with Mangrove Action Project (MAP). We have been building the capacity of close to 700 stakeholders around the world to use and upscale the approach through regular CBEMR trainings. #WeNeedWetlands #mangroverestoration #NatureBasedSolutions #WorldMangroveDay #WMD2024 #ClimateAction #BiodiversityLoss #GenerationRestoration #ForNature 👉 The Global Mangrove Alliance has created the ‘Best Practice Guidelines for Mangrove Restoration’.

Wetlands International is working to bring back the #mangroves in Laguna de las Lajas, a 140-hectare area in Chiriquí Province in #Panama, to protect the coast from storms. 🌊 Our approach combines restoring the water flow and helping the forest naturally spread throughout the lagoon over time. This effort has brought the local community together, rekindling their connection to the environment and contributing to its recovery. 🌱 👉 Learn more about our efforts here: https://lnkd.in/grzUQiGR #WeNeedWetlands #WorldMangroveDay #WMD2024 #mangroves #MangroveRestoration #NatureBasedSolutions #BlueCarbon

In the lead up to World Mangrove Day on Friday, we are sharing videos of community leaders spearheading #mangrove restoration and conservation efforts in #Mexico from World Resources Institute . Mangrove restoration consists of difficult manual labor, historically the terrain of men. But Oriana Montes de Oca and the Cooperativa Carey have flipped the script on that narrative, turning the page for a previously degraded mangrove. Mangrove guardians come in many forms, but one thing remains the same for all of them: a steadfast commitment to combatting #climatechange. https://lnkd.in/gHS4g9NV

In the lead up to World Mangrove Day on Friday, we are sharing videos of community leaders spearheading #mangrove restoration and conservation efforts in #Mexico from World Resources Institute. While most people probably associate bees with flowers, they’re also an integral part of an effort to conserve 300 hectares of mangroves in the Celestun Biosphere Reserve in Isla Arena, Mexico. Margely Mascool and the Honey Kaab instituted sustainable agroecological beekeeping and meliponiculture in Calkiní, Campeche after they identified these incredible insects as the key to mangrove restoration. https://lnkd.in/e8NQ9bN4

In the lead up to World Mangrove Day next Friday, we are sharing videos of community leaders spearheading #mangrove restoration and conservation efforts in #Mexico from World Resources Institute . Sharing is caring for Israel Moras Narváez and his colleagues at Cooperativa Carey. And by guarding the mangroves in Isla Arena and Tankuché, Mexico, life springs anew as people and animals alike reap the benefits...allowing for a thriving ecotourism operation to flourish. Watch as Narváez taps into the power of community to breathe life back into the region. https://lnkd.in/e9jsjSpC
