The World Wetland Network (WWN) international wetland awards - round II is launched
The International Wetland Globes awards scheme recognises best practice and weltand restoration, and if you are an NGO or community group, you can vote for a wetland you know right now. Voting is open from July 2011 to March 2012, and the results will be announced at the next Ramsar international wetland conference in June 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.
Many thanks to those who participated! See the results page for more or download our recent report (4mb in size). 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.

Latest news from Lake Natron is that the Tanzanian government has committed to no new development without addressing environmental concerns - positive news! Also, Ramsar has produced a report of recommendations for the SIBE de Mouloya - a positive move after it won the grey globe last year.
