Wetlands for Life

The World Wetland Network (WWN) international wetland awards - round II voting closed

The International Wetland Globes awards scheme recognises best practice and weltand restoration.  Voting closed in March 2012, and the results will be announced at the next Ramsar international wetland conference in July 2012.  If your wetland gets an award, you could be invited along to receive it!  The results from the last round were announced at CBD COP in Nagoya, Japan, in 2011. 

WWN is a support network for all non governmental organisations (NGO's) working in wetland conservation anywhere in the world. It aims to help better link local wetland NGO's with international wetland agreements. WWN will also help with information exchange, sharing of best practice and lobbying on specific wetland issues.
