Welcome to our site

Welcome to the website of the Oceania programme of Wetlands International; the only global NGO dedicated to sustaining and restoring wetlands. This is a subsite of the global wetlands site and is maintained by our our offices in Australia and Fiji.

On this site, we present you our work (including a clickable map with our projects) and all our publications that result from our activities.

Feel free to contact us for questions about wetlands in Oceania or about our work.
